Noise into narrative
Most teams drown in metrics. I build pipelines that collect cleanly, store efficiently in VictoriaMetrics, and let a local LLM (DeepThought) explain what the data means in plain English.
Example: “Why did latency spike at 3am?” → a clear correlation with a database vacuum job, user load and a failing cache instance. No guessing.
Dashboards people use
Grafana panels designed for engineers and decision-makers, not slide decks — purpose-built views that surface the questions a team is really asking.
The quiet signals
Statistical anomalies, subtle correlations, early warnings — the things that hide in plain sight. Time-series analysis and LLM reasoning together surface what a person would miss.
Complex made calm
Your data becomes a living system: real-time alerts with plain-language explanations, predictive trends and one-click drill-downs that actually make sense.
Collection & federation
Custom collectors for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Kafka, AWS Athena, CSV — almost anything. Hot-reload config, concurrent workers and retry logic, so nothing important is missed.
VictoriaMetrics depth
High-cardinality handling, careful schema design, long-term retention strategy and efficient querying at scale — metrics that stay fast and cheap to store.
Grafana that works
Dashboards built for the people who read them: custom panels, considered alerting, multi-tenancy, and visualisations that help humans decide well.
A local LLM layer that reads your time-series data and answers in plain English.
You see a spike in error rates at 02:14.
“The error spike at 02:14 correlates with a 400% rise in slow database queries after a nightly ETL job. The likely root cause is lock contention in table X. Recommendation: add connection pooling, or move the job 30 minutes later.”
Rural home monitoring, turned into intelligence
More than 35 power metrics, plus temperature, humidity, UPS, a chicken coop and Starlink — all feeding into VictoriaMetrics.
If your data feels noisy, that is where the work begins.
I help teams move from “we have a lot of metrics” to “we understand what is happening, and why”. Remote-first, async-friendly, and focused on clarity.
