After a decade leading IBM Cloud’s Observability architecture, I’m taking on a new challenge as watsonx Common Core Services Architect. I’ll be driving modernization initiatives across foundational services that power watsonx, Data Platform, and Software Hub products.
This was a difficult decision: I’m incredibly proud of what the Observability team has accomplished together. But this is one of those rare opportunities that’s too good to pass up. Running towards something exciting, not away from an amazing team.
Looking forward to getting my hands dirty in the code again, learning a completely new aspect of the IBM business, and working closely with Trent Gray-Donald. Change is both scary and exciting, and this feels like exactly the right kind of challenge.
To my Observability colleagues: thank you for everything. The strong team and culture we’ve built together is something I’m deeply proud of, and knowing it will continue to thrive means I’m ready for my next chapter.
