Member of Technical Staff at [Vercel](https://vercel.com) in Munich, Germany. His public work at Vercel focuses on observability: Runtime Logs, Drains, OpenTelemetry, tracing, audit logs, and activity logs.

Building observability at Vercel. I like tools that show what a request did and where it went. My work includes enhanced Runtime Logs, request metrics, time-series and live log views, session tracing, always-on tracing, Drains filtering and sampling, logs and trace correlation, data exports, and Audit Log Drains.
