Taha Derouiche
Senior Solution Architect @ Grafana Labs
I turn "why is this thing down?" into dashboards, alerts, and a good night's sleep. Solutions Architect based in Amsterdam, helping teams across EMEA observe more and panic less.

I sit between business and engineering. As a Solutions Architect at Grafana Labs, I work hands-on with enterprise teams across EMEA, translating complex observability challenges into architectures that actually ship.
That means leading workshops, designing data visualization strategies, onboarding organizations onto Grafana Cloud, and getting deep into Kubernetes, Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo so my customers don't have to figure it out alone.
Before Grafana, I spent 7 years at Elastic as Principal Consulting Architect, and before that I was in the trenches, running forex trading infrastructure at Commerzbank and building DevOps pipelines at Standard Chartered in Singapore.
Certified across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. When I'm not helping companies tame their infrastructure, I'm automating my home, running, or nerding out about whatever tech caught my eye this week.

Where it all started. Maps, data, and too much coffee.
Before this, I was mostly just eating couscous and dreaming about computers.
I don't bite. Unless you send me a YAML file with tabs.
