First gig was on the availability team, but then he was tasked with emailing Jeff Bezo's directly about what was working & not working, which he rightfully so, says was stressful. He spends a lot of time outdoors, reading, and mostly just away from tech. He is so immersed in tech during the day, that in his free time he prefers to do analog activities... and a lot of activities that require motion. In fact... he claims that his career after tech will be something like a park ranger, taking care of the outdoors. While he was managing platforms for other companies - like Salesforce and Amazon - he was burning the midnight oil creating something to help build resiliency in your platform reliability. A solution based on the principles of chaos engineering. This is the creation story of Gremlin.
