Katherine Daniels is a senior operations engineer at Etsy who got her start in programming with TI-80 calculators back when GeoCities was still cool. These days, she has opinions on things like monitoring, on-call usability, and devops. Before escaping to the world of operations, she spent a few years doing R&D and systems engineering in the corporate world. Katherine lives in Brooklyn with a perfectly reasonable number of cats and in her spare time can often be found rock climbing or handcrafting knitted server koozies for the data center.
