Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMunir Abdinur is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with six years of experience building backend systems, developer tools, and observability features at Datadog. A University of Waterloo Systems Design Engineering student by training, he blends strong engineering fundamentals with practical DevOps and CI/CD improvements—skills he demonstrated by streamlining pre-commit hooks and enhancing test suites in Datadog's Python APM client. He has deep experience instrumenting Java services for distributed tracing through OpenTelemetry, adding trace filters and autoconfigure support for Spring ecosystems. Munir’s background includes early roles at Google, EA, and fast-moving startups, showing he adapts quickly between large-scale production systems and high-velocity product teams. Known for improving error handling and testability, he often focuses on developer experience as much as runtime observability. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who surfaces small but high-leverage improvements that reduce friction across the stack.
