Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Woodman is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 18 years of experience building and operating large-scale, production-critical systems across companies like MongoDB, Dropbox, and Uber. He specializes in observability, deployment and provisioning pipelines, and high-throughput telemetry systems—having supported architectures that handled millions of metric writes per second and large multi-cluster Cassandra backends. Peter blends deep systems operations background (from academic cluster ops to AWS and on-prem fleets) with hands-on engineering contributions to open-source projects such as D3.js and tooling like fpm and Ganglia where he improved formatting, packaging and graphing behavior. Based in New York, he’s comfortable shipping pragmatic fixes under pressure and also improving developer workflows and testability across platforms—a practitioner who moves between low-level reliability work and front-end data-visualization nuance.
