About

At LinkedIn, I owned the inbox. Reliability and performance were paramount. I watched the on-call rotation chew through the team: same alerts, same scramble, same endless investigations before anyone even knew what was actually broken. I left to build something real-world, and started Bramble: AI-powered real estate. We got into YC on the second try, did $14M in GMV, and hit 20K monthly users. We shut it down because we couldn't stop thinking about the on-call problems I'd left behind. So we started over. My co-founder and I are now building Struct, an AI agent that helps you keep prod up and running. It proactively monitors your alert channels to dedupe, triage, and help resolve alerts and incidents across your entire observability stack - while helping you keep track of the state of prod. What I write about here: - On-call, SRE, and incident response in the AI era - Founder lessons from YC, Bramble, and the rebrand - AI-native ops and the gaps nobody is closing fast enough - How product development is evolving post-AI, and how PMs, designers, and engineers adapt If you're an eng leader watching your team burn out on rotations, DM me. I still take every customer call myself. → str
