About me
My name is Robert Barron & I’ve spent the last 20 years in the trenches of IT development and operations, and I'm currently an SRE and AIOps leader at IBM.
Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the most reliable systems aren't just built on the right tools, but on the right culture. I’m a firm believer in looking at the "why" behind our work - specifically how our incentives and engineering ethics shape the software we build. Right now, I’m focused on a "Client Zero" approach, using our own operational experience to make our enterprise products better for everyone else.
When I’m not working on systems, I’m often reading up on the history of space exploration. I’m fascinated by how engineers solved impossible problems decades ago, and I often find that those old-school lessons are exactly what we need to solve modern-day reliability challenges.
Outside of the data center, I’m based in Israel, where I try to get out in the field with my camera and capture the perfect photo something in the sky.
