Joseph Afari is a Principal Support Engineer at Elastic with a background in software engineering and five years of hands-on experience in support and operations.

At Elastic he progressed from Support Engineer to Senior and now Principal Support Engineer, blending deep debugging skills with system-level thinking. He brings practical experience running and maintaining production systems, plus a taste for static analysis from early research work at INRIA that informs his attention to software safety. Based in Florida but with a career rooted in France, he combines cross-cultural collaboration with a pragmatic, architecture-aware approach to incident resolution.
