Summary
Ana Medina is a Senior Chaos Engineer with a decade of experience helping organizations prevent outages by designing and executing proactive failure experiments across cloud-native systems. Based in the SF Bay Area, she has applied her SRE, Kubernetes, and observability expertise at companies ranging from startups in Miami to Google and Uber, and now at Gremlin. An internationally recognized speaker, Ana has presented at re:Invent, KubeCon, DockerCon and other major conferences, using her platform to advocate for diversity, mental health, and Hispanic/Latinx inclusion in tech. Born in Costa Rica to a Nicaraguan family and raised partly in Miami, she combines grit and creative problem-solving with a passion for mentoring—often refusing “no” as an answer until systems and people are stronger.
