Tim is a Partner Group Engineering Manager at Microsoft, leading the engineering teams behind data collection, edge, metrics, and infrastructure for the company's observability platforms. Tim is passionate about telemetry at scale, the evolving relationship between AI and engineering work, and chamber music. In his current role, he's focused on the convergence of observability and AI — both as a tool reshaping how engineering teams ship, and as a new class of consumer reshaping the systems they touch. Tim is based in the Pacific Northwest, where he runs a home lab, enjoys violin, and is slowly losing a battle against his lawn.
