ABOUT DHAN V SAGAR

I build and scale the infrastructure that keeps large distributed systems observable and reliable. Currently at Cisco, I design and operate enterprise-grade observability platforms across metrics, logs, and traces — working across the full LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir), OpenTelemetry, Splunk, InfluxDB, Prometheus, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform.With 10+ years in the industry, I specialize in cloud-native infrastructure, platform engineering, and developer experience — focused on making complex systems understandable and operable at scale.Prior to Cisco, I spent five years at Nokia building IPTV/OTT video platforms, working on systems integration, test automation, and CI/CD pipelines for large-scale video delivery infrastructure. That experience gives me a practical edge when observability intersects with streaming, media systems, or latency-sensitive workloads.I primarily write in Go and Python and hold a Master’s in Computer Science, with research in machine learning and agent-based systems. My interests sit at the intersection of platform engineering, distributed systems, and AI-driven infrastructure.I\'m also actively exploring the AI engineering space — agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, MCP, and data engineering tooling like AWS Glue — as platform and applied AI infrastructure continue to converge.
