SRE • Platform Engineering • Reliability Automation
Creator & Maintainer of NthLayer

NthLayer is an open-source Operations-as-Code engine that generates the entire observability and reliability stack from a single YAML file.

It produces:

• 📊 Grafana dashboards
• 🔔 Prometheus alerting rules
• 🎯 SLOs & recording rules
• 🧭 Service metadata & runbooks
• 🧪 Validated PromQL expressions

It removes the repetitive operational glue engineers rebuild for every new service, and brings consistency to platform teams through a declarative model.

As an SRE, I’ve seen the same problems repeat across teams:

• Every new service starts with no dashboards
• Alerts are inconsistent or missing
• SLOs are rarely defined early (or correctly)
• Observability onboarding is slow and manually-driven
• Tribal knowledge dictates reliability practices

NthLayer emerged from one belief:

Operational readiness should be declarative, repeatable, and automated — not hand-built every time.

• Expanding NthLayer tech stack templates (Redis, MySQL, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Improving PromQL linting + safety validation
• Researching metric discovery patterns
• Polishing the CLI workflow (nthlayer plan/apply)
• Experimenting with AI-assisted SLO recommendations and alert tuning

I enjoy collaborating with developers, SREs, platform engineers, and OSS builders.
