I am an infrastructure engineer and an author/maintainer of several open source projects for application performance management and observability, including Jaeger, OpenTracing, and OpenTelemetry. I am also the author of the (first in the industry) book "Mastering Distributed Tracing". I frequently speak at conferences and meet-ups, some of the talk recordings are available on my website.

These are some of the projects to which I am contributing:

• Jaeger, a distributed tracing platform. I started it as an internal project at Uber, which we later donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation where it has graduated to a top-level project.
• OpenTracing, the first industry attempt to come up with a standard API for instrumenting applications for distributed tracing.
• OpenTelemetry, a successor to the OpenTracing project, is a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture performance telemetry from your applications. I am a member of the Governance Committee that develops the project's structure and governance. I am also a member of the Technical Committee that oversees the overall development of APIs, SDKs, and Specification.
• W3C Trace Context, an official recommendation for the wire format for exchanging distributed trace context. I participate in the development of this standard as an invited expert.
• https://github.com/uber-common/opentracing-python-instrumentation - zero-touch instrumentation for OpenTracing for popular Python libraries and frameworks.
• https://github.com/yurishkuro/opentracing-tutorial - a collection of tutorials in multiple programing languages for instrumenting applications with the OpenTracing APIs.
• Jaeger client libraries for Go, Java, Python, Node.js.
