Hi there! I’m Armand, a senior engineering manager based in Germany. I’m passionate about coaching people, pair-programming, and creating the right interface for the right users.
I currently work at Grafana Labs, where I manage the Mimir squads located in the EMEA region (14 engineers). We build Grafana Mimir: the most scalable, efficient, and easy-to-use telemetry database in the world.
I previously managed the Alerting and SLO teams (14 engineers) at Grafana Labs for 3 years. Together, we developed the new alerting platform in Grafana.
During my free time, I previously led the tech team at Volt Europa. I managed the contributors working on the tools needed to grow as a non-profit: the team, event, and newsletter management systems. The tools we developed supported more than 25000 members in 30 countries.
I studied a European Master’s Programme in Cloud Computing with a minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship. During this program, I have written a master thesis for the Service-centric Networking department of TU Berlin and done multiple internships, including one for the INRIA.
Feel free to contact me on LinkedIn. Last but not least, here is my resume.
