Service Operations Engineer at TENTENS Tech Aug 2026 - Present
Transitioned alerting to a pure GitOps model by refactoring uptime monitoring (Prometheus Blackbox,
VictoriaMetrics/vmalert, Alertmanager) in GitLab; removed 50 stale UI-managed rules to ensure 100% of alerts are
version-controlled and deployed via ArgoCD to GKE/Kubernetes
Audited Grafana monitoring across multiple teams domains, identifying and documenting broken metrics/panels, fixing
data gaps, and aligning dashboard alerts with provisioning-as-code standards
