After meeting the SREday team at the Redmond and Seattle conferences, SREday stuck with me. The conversations felt real, the people were thoughtful, and there was a clear focus not just on systems, but on the people behind them. I’ve always been drawn to how things actually work beneath the surface. Over time, that’s led to helping teams build ways of working that feel more human and sustainable, not just efficient on paper. That’s where I see myself contributing here. Reliability isn’t only about tools or uptime, it’s about how people communicate, support each other, and grow together. As an ambassador, I want to help SREday keep that balance strong as it grows.

I was glad to be part of starting the PagerDuty and SREday partnership and to support events that stay thoughtful and well scoped. These conferences create space for focused discussions without losing their sense of warmth. Having spoken at many events over the years, it’s been meaningful to watch SREday reach more places around the world. I’m grateful for the care that goes into it and look forward to what comes next.

One of the very first SREday Ambassadors, I helped bring the conference to San Francisco and kick things off on the West Coast. I have been friends with Miko and Mark since way back, so being part of this from the early days felt natural and exciting. I am genuinely happy to help kick off the SREday + Harness partnership and see where this community keeps growing next.

I’m excited to join the SREday community as an Ambassador and help more students discover careers in cloud, SRE, and platform engineering. I’ve seen how difficult it can be for the next generation to get real industry exposure, especially without internships or strong professional networks. Events like SREday give students a chance to meet engineers, learn how modern systems actually work, and understand what building in the cloud really looks like beyond the classroom. After speaking at SREday Austin and connecting with so many passionate engineers, I knew I wanted to be more involved in helping bring new people into this space. I’m looking forward to supporting students, sharing opportunities, and helping more future cloud professionals find their path into the industry.

I’ve been following the Conf42 and SREday journey for a while, both as a technical trainer and as someone who cares about practical learning platforms. What Mark and Miko build consistently delivers real value, not just content for content’s sake. Helping organize SREday Redmond and Seattle was a natural extension of that, and it reinforced how much thought goes into making these events genuinely useful.

SREday felt like one of those spaces where you instantly feel like you belong. I got the chance to present, but honestly, some of the best moments were just talking to people in between sessions about what they’re building, what’s breaking, and how they’re figuring it out. A big part of my journey has been about community. From organizing Cloud Native groups to helping new contributors get involved in Kubernetes, I’ve seen how much impact these spaces can have on people’s careers and confidence . Being at SREday reinforced that for me. Now that I’m spending more time in the New York area, I really want to help grow that same kind of energy here. More meetups, more open conversations, more chances for people to step in and contribute. That’s the part I’m most excited about.

I have been following SREday closely for years and have watched it grow from a small, focused event into something with real momentum. I have spoken at most of the locations along the way, which gave me a front row seat to how the conversations and the community keep evolving. I am here because I care about helping the developer community grow in a way that stays practical, curious, and human.

I’ve been following SREday since the early days and have had a front row seat to how it keeps evolving. Helping get the PagerDuty partnership off the ground and speaking at events organized by Miko and Mark since 2021, including conf42, has shown me how intentional this community really is. There’s a clear focus on substance and real conversations. I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead.

I had the chance to attend SREday in NYC in early 2026, and it was such a cool experience. The energy in the room made it clear there’s real potential for growth in the city. I’m excited to support Miko and Mark in fostering the developer community here and helping it thrive.

I first spoke at SREday in Austin, then ran a hands-on Kiro workshop with Saurabh in New York, and what stuck with me was how much of the day happens between the talks. People actually compare notes on what's breaking in production and how they fixed it. I've spent years building AWS community in Texas and beyond, and I want to help bring that same energy to SREday in Dallas and across the US.

I first met the SREday team over a few calls in the spring, and by summer we were planning SREday Dallas together. I helped find our home at evolv consulting HQ, brought in local speakers, and connected the team with friends from the Dallas tech scene. What I like about SREday is that it feels like a community, not just another conference. You get practitioners talking honestly about what keeps systems running and what keeps teams sane while doing it. As an SRE Manager, I care about both. As an Ambassador, I want to help bring more of Texas into the conversation and help SREday keep growing here.

I’ve been following DevOps Not Dead and SREday for a while, and I’ve always respected how you’re making conferences feel more human and less performative. After 20 years at Microsoft, I’ve seen how often great technical ideas get lost without the right storytelling, which is why I focus on helping experts communicate with real impact. Joining as an ambassador felt like a natural step, a chance to help make conferences cooler, more honest, and actually useful for the people in the room. I’m excited to be part of something that values both the tech and the humans behind it.

People often ask me why I go to so many tech events, and my answer is always "why not?". Staying at home won't connect you with such a diverse crowd of smart, curious people. I found that at DevOps Not Dead in London, then kept coming back to LLMday and SREday London as a Community Hero, bringing friends and former colleagues along. The best conversations happen between the talks, and often over a pint afterwards. As an Ambassador I want to help grow the London community and make sure more engineers know these doors are open to them.

What started as RunWhen sponsoring a handful of SREdays quickly grew into a long term partnership, and it’s been genuinely fun to watch SREday expand into multiple cities across Europe and the US while keeping the same thoughtful, practitioner driven feel. I’ve known Mark and Miko for a while, and working with people who truly care about the community they’re building makes this even better. We’re excited to keep tightening the partnership between RunWhen and SREday and to see what this community evolves into next.

I love the for-engineers, by-engineers formula. Lots of healthy sharing and learning. Each time I notice new, cool tools; and real conversations among practitioners. The journey continues - SREDay continues to expand, and I continue to champion simplicity in system design, and rational and productive culture. Here's to growth!

I’ve been part of the chaos engineering space for many years, so I’ve seen a lot of different events and communities come and go. SREday London has always stood out to me. I’ve been involved since the early days, and what kept me coming back was the genuine community vibe that Mark and Miko created. It’s the kind of event where the conversations feel real, the learning feels practical, and people actually want to connect with each other. I’m really glad to have been part of the journey so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where SREday goes next.

I had the pleasure of meeting Miko and Mark a couple of years ago, and I’ve been genuinely impressed by the work they’ve done to grow and nurture the SRE community in London. Building a strong technical community takes consistency and care, and they’ve shown both.I’m excited to join them on the adventure of growing the British SREday community. Community really does rule, and I’m glad to be part of it.

I first crossed paths with Mark and at a few European events back in 2025, and the connection felt easy and real from the start. As a developer advocate, I spend a lot of time working with communities, and SREday stands out for how intentional it is. Helping organize SREday Spain feels like contributing to something that respects both people and the work they do.

I met Mark and Miko at SREday London in 2025, which somehow led to us packing out the PagerDuty office in Lisbon not long after. We had so much interest that we sold out very fast, which is a pretty good problem to have. The whole thing was loud, fun, and slightly chaotic in the best way. I’m very curious to see how much bigger SREday gets.

Joining SREday as an ambassador feels like a natural extension of what I already love doing every week: connecting communities, supporting great events, and helping people learn from each other. I’m deeply involved in several DevOps, Cloud Native, AI, and leadership communities across Portugal, so being able to bring that energy and network into SREday is genuinely exciting. I’m especially looking forward to helping grow the community internationally and hopefully bringing an SREday event to Porto in the future.

Being part of SREday as an ambassador feels like the perfect match for the kind of work I already care about every day. A big part of my journey has been bringing people together across tech, leadership, cloud, AI, and community spaces in Portugal, whether through mentoring, public speaking, meetups, or helping others grow professionally. What excites me most about SREday is the human side of the community. It’s not just about infrastructure or technology, it’s about creating spaces where people can exchange ideas, support each other, and build meaningful connections. I’m really happy to help strengthen the SREday community internationally and, hopefully soon, help bring that same energy to Porto with a local edition of the event.

I first met the SREday team in Lisbon in 2025 and had an absolute blast speaking at the event. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this community had something special going on. The conversations were thoughtful, the people were welcoming, and there was a lot of creativity in how everyone approached the work we do. I’m really excited to help organize and support the Portuguese SREday community moving forward. If the past events are any indication, we’re going to have a lot of fun building this together.

Helping organize the first SREday Portugal at the PagerDuty office in Lisbon was a great experience. The energy was open, welcoming, and very much driven by the community in the room. It felt like the start of something, and I’m genuinely looking forward to whatever adventures we end up sharing next.

I first stumbled upon SREday the way you discover most good things these days: scrolling through social media. Then I met one of the ambassadors, started digging deeper, and before I knew it, I was offering to host one of the events at the Booksy office. That's how the adventure began. What hooked me was how this community is built: it's about the tech and the people doing the actual work, not marketing slides. As Head of SRE at Booksy, I've spent years growing our team and keeping our platform up and running (most of the time!). Poland has some seriously great engineers, yet SRE still doesn't get the attention it deserves here. I'd love to help change that, one SREday at a time.

After speaking at SREday several times, becoming an ambassador felt like a natural next step. I’ve always enjoyed the open atmosphere, strong technical sessions, and the people I’ve met through the events. Now I’m excited to help grow the community and bring more platform engineering and cloud professionals into the conversation

I am involved in organizing SREday Amsterdam at ING, mainly focusing on the practical side of making it all run smoothly. That meant logistics, speaker coordination, and yes, making sure everyone was well fed and caffeinated. I also joined a panel discussion on the state of reliability practices and tooling in banks, which sparked some honest and interesting conversations about where we are, what still hurts, and what is slowly getting better.

I've been speaking at SREday for years, and every edition has felt like catching up with friends while meeting new people who genuinely care about engineering. That's what keeps bringing me back. Becoming an Ambassador felt like the natural next step, and I'm looking forward to helping grow the SREday community in the Netherlands.

I helped run the inaugural SREday at ING Amsterdam, focusing on the behind-the-scenes work that makes an event actually function. From schedules and coordination to the thousand small details people never see, my role was about creating a smooth, calm experience for speakers and attendees alike. It was rewarding to support an event built for practitioners, and I’m proud to contribute in ways that make community spaces feel thoughtful, organized, and human.

I met the SREday team a couple of years ago at SREday London, and the quality of the event stuck with me. Later, helping organize SREday Amsterdam at the ING office confirmed that the same community focused spirit carries through everywhere. It’s a solid group of people doing things for the right reasons.

I co-organized the very first SREday hosted at ING Amsterdam. I worked closely with the SREday team to shape a speaker lineup that felt thoughtful, practical, and genuinely useful for people doing the work day to day. Being part of this from the inside was energizing, and I am genuinely happy to keep showing up and helping the SRE community grow in ways that feel grounded and welcoming.

SREday is one of the few places where people talk honestly about where systems actually fail. I presented on authorization, and the conversations quickly moved past tools into real-world gaps and tradeoffs. What stood out is how naturally reliability and security come together in this space. It’s a room full of people who care about building things the right way, not the easy way. That’s exactly the kind of community I want to keep growing in the Latin America.

I helped support and promote the first SREday in Latin America, contributing to the growth of the event and its community. As a HashiCorp Latin America Ambassador and co-organizer of CNCF Campinas SP, my involvement in various community initiatives reinforced my belief that strong technical communities are built through collaboration and shared purpose. I am grateful to everyone who helped make this first edition possible.

After attending both the San Francisco and Campinas editions of SREday, I saw firsthand how strong and genuine this community is. That experience pushed me to step up and support Miko, Mark, and the other Latin American ambassadors in expanding SREday’s presence across the region. I’m excited to help grow something that already feels so impactful.

I've co-organized SREday Campinas, the first conference of the series in Latin America. Being part of an event of this magnitude reinforced my belief that strong communities are built by trust, collaboration, and an amazing team working towards a shared goal. I am grateful to everyone who helped make SREday Campinas possible and truly memorable!

I first met Mark back in 2020 and started connecting speakers from my community with both online and in person events. I’ve been following SREday ever since and have enjoyed watching it grow while staying true to itself. I’m excited to keep working together and see where this collaboration continues to lead.

I co-organized the first SREday India! Through my work at GuhaTek, I help organizations operationalize reliability by connecting SRE principles, observability, and chaos engineering to real business outcomes, not just tooling. For me, SRE is about engineering discipline, shared responsibility, and continuous improvement, and communities like SREday help make that real at scale. We’re proud to support this initiative and committed to growing the SREday community across cities in India!

Reliability at scale only matters when it shows up for real users, and that’s why SREday India resonates with me. Leading global SRE for Ford’s eCommerce platforms has reinforced that resilience is built through strong engineering fundamentals, operational discipline, and shared ownership across teams. Events like SREday create the space to move beyond theory, talk honestly about failures, and learn what actually works in production.Excited to see the community grow across cities as more practitioners come together to raise the bar on reliability.

I first came across SREday in Bangalore. I expected a good conference, but what I enjoyed most were the conversations between sessions. Everyone was easy to talk to, and it felt like a community where people genuinely wanted to share experiences rather than just promote themselves. After meeting the team behind SREday, joining as an Ambassador felt like an easy decision. They're building something that's worth being part of, and I'm happy to help more people discover it and make future events even better.

Being part of SREday Hyderabad 2026 showed me what a strong community can accomplish when everyone pulls in the same direction. The energy, the conversations, and the willingness to help each other made the day special. I'm excited to continue contributing as an SREday Ambassador and help create even more moments like that.

I spend most of my time teaching Kubernetes, platform engineering and cloud, and building a DevOps community that I hope will reach 100,000 people. As a Google Developer Expert in Cloud, an OpenSearch Ambassador and an organiser of the CNCF, HashiCorp and Google Cloud communities in Gandhinagar, I've seen how much engineers grow when they get in the room together. Speaking at SREday Bangalore and then SREday London showed me how well these events connect practitioners across continents. As an SREday Ambassador I want to bring more of India's SRE and platform engineering community into that room.

Presenting at SREday was one of those rare moments where the conversation goes beyond theory and straight into real systems that are actually running at scale. I spoke about platform engineering and cost optimization, and what stood out was how deeply the audience engaged with the practical side of it. These weren’t surface-level questions. People wanted to understand tradeoffs, architecture decisions, and what really works in production. Coming from a background where I’ve built platforms serving thousands of engineers and optimized infrastructure at scale, it was refreshing to be around others solving similar problems in different environments . Since moving to the New York area, I’ve been focusing more on building that same level of technical community locally. SREday showed there’s real demand for high-signal conversations here, and I’m excited to keep contributing to that.

I’m happy to be partnering with SREday to bring the series of conferences to India. As Co-Founder of GuhaTek, I work closely with engineering teams on SRE, SLO-driven reliability, chaos engineering, and observability, with a strong focus on learning from real incidents and building resilient systems. I believe meaningful engineering communities are built on trust, openness, and shared learning, not just tools or frameworks. We’re excited to support SREday India and look forward to growing this community across cities in India!

Becoming an SREday Ambassador feels like a natural extension of the work I’ve already been doing around reliability engineering and community building in Hyderabad. Through years of working with SRE teams and platform operations, I’ve seen how valuable it is when engineers openly share real production lessons instead of only polished success stories. For me, SRE is not just about tooling or automation, it’s about building a culture of reliability, ownership, and continuous learning. I’m excited to help grow the SREday community across India, starting with Hyderabad.

SREday connects really closely with the kind of engineering work I’ve been focused on for years across cloud transformation, modernization, and large scale production systems. Reliability becomes meaningful when teams can share operational knowledge openly and learn from each other’s real experiences in production. I’ve always believed strong engineering communities are built through practical conversations, collaboration, and continuous improvement, not just frameworks or architecture diagrams. Hyderabad already has an incredible base of cloud and SRE practitioners, and I’m excited to help grow that community further through SREday India.

Helping make SREday happen in Munich with MaibornWolff and hyground was a great experience. I’m now looking forward to supporting the community as an ambassador and helping bring SREday to more cities across Germany.

What started as a casual conversation at SREday Amsterdam turned into a brand new adventure in Germany. From that moment on, supporting SREday through ilert as both sponsor and host felt like a natural next step. I’m excited to see how this grows and what it evolves into over time.

I attended SREday London and left inspired by the energy and openness of the community. That momentum led me to work on bringing the brand to France, where we hosted our first successful edition in November 2025. I’m excited to keep building and to see how the community continues to evolve.

I first met Mark virtually in 2021 at Conf42 SRE, and since then I’ve watched him and Miko build something truly meaningful. Their commitment to community building over the past few years has brought practitioners from all walks of life together, both online and in person. I’m excited to be part of what comes next.
