About Lior

Do you manage a cloud-native platform and your observability costs more than it brings in? Do your teams spend more time searching for the cause of an incident than resolving it? Do your Dynatrace dashboards exist but nobody really uses them?

This is exactly where I come in.

A senior consultant specializing in enterprise observability and a certified Dynatrace Professional Implementer, I help engineering teams and technical management transform their monitoring into a real operational and business lever. Over 3 years of hands-on expertise with deployments of over 2,000 hosts for clients in banking, finance, telecom, and industry.

What I bring you concretely:

- End-to-end Dynatrace deployments on cloud, hybrid, and Kubernetes/AKS infrastructures — OneAgent, Smartscape, Davis AI, ActiveGate
- Actionable DQL dashboards that your teams actually use — distributed tracing, P95/P99, SLO, Apdex, RUM
- Business-aligned SLO strategies with Business Events and OpenPipeline — your KPIs translated into real-time signals
- Concrete reduction in MTTR through root cause analysis and topological alerting
- Platform governance: DPS licensing optimization, RBAC, hardening, Monitoring-as-Code (Monaco)
- Observability audits and transformation roadmaps for CTOs and VPs of Engineering

My added value: a results-oriented consulting approach, not vendor-focused. I know Dynatrace in depth, but I also work with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana — the goal is your observability, not an extra license.

Types of engagements: short audits (2-4 weeks), project implementations (2-4 months), monthly platform management retainers.
