Hi there! I'm Armand, a senior engineering manager who works in Germany. I love coaching people, pair-programming, and learning about how cloud computing works.
I currently work at Grafana Labs, in the Grafana Ops department. I manage the Alerting and SLO teams (14 engineers), together we are developing the new alerting experience in Grafana. I was previously managing the Query team, working on transforming Mimir from a Prometheus database to a metrics database, until recently.
I previously worked at D2iQ (formerly Mesosphere). I have been senior software engineer in the Kubernetes Platform team and engineering manager in the Cluster Ops team. I worked on Apache Mesos and as a SRE before that.
During my free time, I led until 2021 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 have previously 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.
