Top SchoolGreg Volk is a Senior Technical Architect with 25 years in IT and over two decades focused on Financial Services, where he designs and troubleshoots high-scale network and application performance systems. He specializes in network capacity planning, time-series metrics platforms (Graphite, Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB), deep packet analysis, NetFlow ecosystems, and custom telemetry agents—often combining packet traces with synthetic and real-transaction monitoring to diagnose subtle latency and loss issues.
