Top SchoolPhil Sarin is a Principal Engineer with 25+ years building customer-facing systems and a proven track record of shipping high-visibility products at scale. At Datadog he’s led product launches from first engineer to GA, driven multi-region resilience and queuing improvements, and is a top-10 contributor to the company’s largest repo while now leading an unreleased AI diagnostics product.
