• Deployed distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger to monitor and analyze microservices performance. • Integrated OpenTelemetry tracing with a gRPC-based service, capturing request propagation across distributed systems. • Configured Jaeger as a trace collector via OTLP and enhanced span reporting using batch processing for efficiency. • Developed comprehensive tracing solutions with OpenTelemetry integrated into gRPC systems, identifying critical data flows that accelerated debugging by 30 hours per month.
