About
My work centers on improving the customer experience during major service incidents, (outages, maintenance, service retirements etc) helping translate complex technical events into clear and useful information. I’m a strong advocate for transparency and believe some of the most valuable lessons in cloud reliability come from openly examining what happens when things go wrong, what we learn, and what we change as a result. As a returning Microsoft Ignite speaker, I’ve previously presented on Azure reliability and resilience, incident communications, and Microsoft’s evolving approach to outage transparency. I bring realworld operational experience to my sessions, connecting the engineering realities of running cloud services at scale with the experience of customers who depend on them.
