Serge Black is a Principal Member of Technical Staff in Redmond with 11 years of experience building and modernizing large-scale platform services at companies like Salesforce, Tableau, and Microsoft. He specializes in driving architectural modernization—modularizing monoliths, increasing code ownership to 99.9%, and raising reliability from 99.2% to 99.9+% through KPIs and engineering scorecards. A pragmatic leader, he blends strategic roadmap planning with hands-on mentoring to cultivate platform stewardship, fault isolation, and domain autonomy across teams. His background includes real-time event processing and distributed systems for data center services, and early career work spanning cloud, OLAP performance tuning, and embedded telemetry tools. Colleagues know him for turning architectural debt into prioritized modernization plans and for fostering measurable outcomes rather than vague initiatives.
