For Series B–D Engineering Teams

Your MTTR is over an hour.
That's $50k+ per incident.

82% of engineering teams now take longer to resolve incidents than they did in 2021. More dashboards. More alerts. Slower debugging.

I fix the observability gaps that are burning your senior engineers' time and your runway.

>1hr MTTR at most Series B+ companies
30% Senior engineer time lost to firefighting
$5k–$10k Cost per war room (in wages alone)

Your metrics are getting worse, not better

More tools. More dashboards. More alerts. But your team is slower at resolving incidents than they were two years ago.

Mean Time to Resolution

MTTR is climbing

Your team takes longer to fix issues than they did last year. More tools, more dashboards, more context-switching.

The average is now over 1 hour. Every minute in a war room is senior engineer salary burning.

Deployments that cause incidents

Change Failure Rate

You ship fast, but 15-20% of deploys cause issues. Nobody knows which service broke what until customers complain.

Silent failures don't show up in your CI. They show up in your support queue.

Knowledge concentration

Hero Dependency

1-2 engineers hold the system in their heads. Everyone else is afraid to touch anything.

When they leave, go on vacation, or burn out — your MTTR doubles overnight.

You can have 8 dashboards and still not know why checkout is failing. The problem isn't data. It's correlation.

Monitoring vs. Observability

You're paying for monitoring. You need observability. Here's the difference.

Stage
What you have Monitoring
What you need Observability
Health Checks
Is the CPU at 90%?
Is the checkout flow completing?
Alerting
500 Slack notifications per day
One alert: revenue dropped in EU region
Debugging
The API is slow somewhere
Service A waiting on locked DB row
Testing
Unit tests pass in CI
Synthetic probes running in prod every 60s

The left column is infrastructure data. The right column is business outcomes.

I help you get from left to right.

I'm Youn.

I've spent the last few years deep in Kubernetes observability — instrumenting Go, Python, and Node services with OpenTelemetry, building dashboards that actually catch failures, and reducing MTTR for teams scaling past 50 microservices.

I'm not a DevOps generalist. I fix one specific problem: the gap between your green dashboards and your broken customer experiences.

Find exactly where you're bleeding MTTR

3 days. I map your observability gaps, trace your incident patterns, and give you a prioritized fix list.

What You Get

MTTR Diagnostic

Where your debugging time actually goes. I trace your last 5 incidents and show exactly which gaps cost you hours.

Observability Gap Map

Every blind spot in your critical flows — checkout, auth, payments — ranked by revenue risk. What breaks silently, and how bad it hurts.

90-Day Fix Roadmap

Prioritized by DORA impact. Each item shows: what to fix, expected MTTR reduction, and implementation steps your team can follow.

How it works

From call to clarity in less than two weeks.

01

30-Min Discovery Call

You tell me where it hurts. I ask about your stack, your incidents, your monitoring setup. We figure out if the audit makes sense.

No pitch. Just diagnostics.
02

3-Day Deep Dive

I get read access to your systems. I trace your business-critical flows, audit your monitoring, map your ownership gaps, and find the blind spots.

Minimal disruption to your team.
03

Deliverables + Roadmap

You get the Reliability Report, the 90-day Roadmap, and one synthetic test implemented on your most critical revenue path.

Actionable from day one.
04

Build (Optional)

If the audit reveals gaps you can't fix internally, I stick around to implement the solution. Synthetic testing, observability, guardrails — whatever you need.

Scope and pricing discussed after audit.

Your next incident is already in the queue.

The question is whether you'll find it in 10 minutes or 4 hours.
Let's talk about your MTTR.
