Summary
Eric Sirianni is a Principal Engineer specializing in observability with 15 years of experience building storage, monitoring and analytics systems across enterprise and cloud environments. Currently leading observability efforts at Confluent, he previously architected Nimble’s InfoSight SaaS and drove storage integrations and monitoring products at NetApp, contributing upstream to HDFS for shared replicas. His background blends deep systems engineering with customer-facing productization—translating low-level storage and virtualization expertise into scalable SaaS analytics. Based in Cary, NC, he pairs an MS in Computer Science from Stanford with a pragmatic engineering leadership style that surfaces operational insights before incidents occur. An under-the-radar strength is his history of bridging open-source collaboration and VP-level strategic presentations, making him equally fluent with code, architecture and stakeholder communication.
