About

Hello! My name is Tom Donohue and this is my personal web site. I’m a Staff Field Engineer at Grafana Labs, and I live in London. I’m interested in software, writing, and egg sandwiches.

This website is a place for me to share the things that I’m working on, my thoughts on side projects, and for random writings!

Currently my main activities are:

• Working at Grafana Labs, where I help engineering teams get to grips with observability using Loki, OpenTelemetry, and the rest of the LGTM open source stack.

• Writing on my blog about observability, side projects, and whatever I’ve just broken or fixed.

• Building small iOS apps and web tools in whatever spare time I can find. See the Projects page for more info.

• Building Apoll, a simple polling and audience Q&A app that I sometimes use when I’m presenting a talk.

• Occasionally uploading to YouTube when one of my side projects produces something worth showing, or there’s something I want to share.

• My GitHub, where I share code and stuff

• Knowledge Base, a general dump of tech notes and code snippets, which I update when I can.

This site is made with Jekyll.

PS. Why monodot? Because it’s an anagram of the first 7 letters of my name.
