Descope — identity and authentication infrastructure

Part of the platform team behind an auth product that processes millions of requests per day across 4 global regions. My remit is the boring but load-bearing part: the infra stays up, the deploys stay boring, and production never surprises us.

Scale & surface area

  • 25+ microservices in one platform, running simultaneously on AWS (primary) and GCP
  • 4 regions, each a fully independent production environment
  • Millions of auth requests/day across customer workloads
  • TypeScript + Pulumi as the IaC substrate — every cluster, every service, every env

What I own and drive

Reliability & observability — Full Datadog footprint (APM, structured logs, dashboards, SLOs) across every region. I build and maintain the dashboards on-call actually uses, set the SLO targets for services I own, and drive the runbook standard for infra-level incidents. When latency creeps in Singapore, we see it before customers do.
