Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGauthier Hénon is an engineering manager at Datadog with eight years of hands-on experience building cloud cost and observability products, currently leading the Cloud Cost Management - Core team in New York. He progressed from founding member and backend/data engineer to manager while shipping major milestones like Datadog Cloud Costs and Cloud Cost Recommendations in private beta. Comfortable across full-stack systems, Gauthier has driven onboarding, ingestion, and processing pipelines for cloud and SaaS cost metrics and previously built frontend products such as DNS Monitoring and Network Performance Monitoring. His background blends rigorous engineering (MEng from CentraleSupélec) with practical product delivery and operational optimizations—he’s even reduced stored metric volumes via CPU normalization and led migrations to TypeScript and Python 3. Colleagues know him as a pragmatic leader who still writes code and hires for high-quality, cost-aware observability engineering.
