Summary
Hiroshi Muraoka is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer based in Kobe, Japan with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms and resilient distributed systems. He blends deep platform engineering expertise—SLO-driven self-service tooling, OpenTelemetry tracing, Kubernetes and CI/CD re-architecture—with a practical business sensibility honed through quantitative finance roles at Nomura. Hiroshi has a track record of cutting costs and latency in production (notably large Elasticsearch and GCE optimizations) and of enabling developer self-service via policy-as-code, preview deployments, and thin viable platform extensions. His curiosity led to a three-year deep dive into quantitative analysis and high-scoring Kaggle work during a world-traveling sabbatical, plus contributions to OSS projects across Kubernetes, External Secrets, and OpenTelemetry. Comfortable troubleshooting Go concurrency, SQL, and networking at depth, he combines academic roots in robotics and information science with hands-on SRE leadership to turn complex systems into reliable, observable products.
