Brian Gates

Systems engineer, developer, Grafana Champion

I design and run reliable systems with strong observability — Kubernetes, automation, Python, and Go — and care about metrics that matter and operations that stay calm under load. Outside of work I restore classic cars and experiment with data visualization.
