👤
SeniorUlrich Kautz is a production-focused engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating scalable infrastructure, currently driving reliability at Meta from London.

He excels at optimizing developer workflows and automating platform-level concerns to reduce toil and improve deployment velocity.
