/about me/

Yo, I'm Michael, a software engineer *currently* living in Nigeria.

I have intermittent interests in a bunch of stuff like:

  • Running (two marathons and counting :))
  • FPGAs and CPU design
  • Sci-Fi books (and all things Red Rising!)

About programming, my current interests are in storage, databases (internals and observability) and the challengesfun of distributed systems.

These days, I am helping build GoWagr, and helping organizations monitor their databases at Percona.

In the past, I've also contributed to:

  • SpinUp - an open-source "database-in-docker" orchestration tool
    • .
  • Thanos - a highly available Prometheus setup with long-term storage capabilities.
  • MariaDB - an open-source relational database with MySQL compatibility..
Occasionally, I share the things I learn by publishing articles on the Twilio Blog, the LogRocket blog, and my personal blog.
