Josh Alleman
@joshalleman
Infrastructure and Observability Engineer focused on reliable enterprise monitoring, automation, and incident-driven improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Infrastructure and Observability Engineer with 8+ years supporting enterprise and financial services production environments. I specialize in application monitoring, incident response, root cause analysis, infrastructure troubleshooting, and operational automation.
In my most visible work, I led an enterprise observability migration from AppDynamics to Dynatrace across 100+ servers and 20+ applications, completing it with zero monitoring continuity loss. I’ve owned monitoring operations, improved application visibility, and strengthened production reliability by reducing alert noise and increasing actionable coverage.
I’m known for turning repetitive operational work into automation and repeatable processes. I developed PowerShell automation that reduced deployment tasks from approximately 20 minutes of manual effort to under 5 minutes while improving consistency and logging, and I maintain documentation and knowledge resources to raise team efficiency.
Across Microsoft and cloud environments, I’ve supported production-impacting incidents involving Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, Active Directory, networking/VPN connectivity, and workstation/server issues. I also build hands-on infrastructure projects (Docker-based local environments for an LLM platform) and bring that learning back into practical operations, aligned with ITIL and ServiceNow-driven processes.
