I worked on the OpenTelemetry project to help companies collect and forward their telemetry data to a vendor of their choice. I inherited close to a dozen open-source projects owned by SignalFx and maintained them for almost a year significantly improving the quality and available features in the process. I became a maintainer for the OpenTelemetry Python project and helped lead the project to it’s first stable release. I also helped Splunk build and release open-source observability SDKs built on top of OpenTelemetry. I was also responsible for drafting our security policy for open-source projects written and maintained at Splunk.
