Hi, I’m Craig Watt.
Observability Engineer by day—crafting monitoring with Grafana, Telegraf, and CI/CD—aspiring SRE who enjoys writing about code and tackling hard challenges.
I’m an Observability Engineer at Sky, building and maintaining scalable media-asset management systems. I specialize in real-time monitoring and automation with Grafana, Telegraf, Docker, and Kubernetes. When I’m not tuning pipelines or writing back-end services in C and Python, you’ll find me setting up a Raspberry Pi k3s cluster, writing code, and tackling complex challenges head-on.
