I manage production engineering organization at Tala, which is a part of our CloudOps/DevOps group. My teams build internal tools and platforms for customer and product management and we own the production incidents escalation process. All the way from simple change request escalations to P0/P1 incidents. In my spare time I'm probably on a hike, playing a computer game or cooking. I collect cookbooks, I have about 85 right now.
