Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTiina Turban is a senior software engineer based in Paris with five years of focused experience building scalable infrastructure and analytics systems. She has driven backend and pipeline work at PostHog—contributing to a well-known open-source analytics platform—and recently joined Datadog to continue operating at the intersection of observability and data. Her background includes site reliability and tracing improvements at Twitter and large-scale deployment and disaster-recovery work at Facebook, where she led cross-team initiatives and mentored engineers. Tiina combines hands-on refactoring and API evolution with operational rigor, having improved Kubernetes charts, ingestion reliability, and ClickHouse-based data routing. She’s comfortable moving between backend, infra, and frontend touchpoints to ship end-to-end solutions, and her history shows a knack for turning months-long operational tasks into repeatable, automated processes. An unusual detail: her early experience migrating Facebook’s test storage prototype helped reveal real-world scale limitations, shaping her pragmatic approach to system design.
