🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAugustin Husson is a Lead Principal Engineer based in France with 12 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed monitoring and observability platforms. He led the redesign of Amadeus’s monitoring stack (Prometheus/Thanos/Grafana), shipping a 12-factor, UHA Go backend and web UI to manage alerting across hundreds of clusters. A hands-on full-stack engineer, he now focuses on Go and TypeScript and has made notable front-end and back-end contributions to high-profile CNCF projects like Prometheus, Alertmanager and Thanos. He is a long-standing open-source maintainer and contributor—especially around Alertmanager UI and Prometheus internals—and prioritizes roles that explicitly allow continued OSS work. Notably, despite deep Java roots and past tech-lead experience, he hasn’t written Java in years and prefers modern cloud tooling and observability problems.
