Top SchoolJoey Coleman is a Senior Site Reliability Engineering Manager with 14 years of experience building and scaling production systems, now leading and growing the SRE organization at Aiven. He moved from hands-on sysadmin and engineering roles into management after building a dozen-person team to operate critical infrastructure, and now focuses on high-level technical strategy and team development. His background includes a PhD and postdoctoral research in formal methods and programming language semantics, bringing rigor to reliability, design, and operational processes. Joey's career blends academic depth with practical ops—he’s equally comfortable reasoning about rely/guarantee specifications as he is automating Unix-based systems at scale.
