Professional headshot of John Spriggs

Senior Technical Support Engineer focused on production reliability and complex system debugging

I diagnose and resolve high-impact incidents by correlating logs, API behavior, and database state across distributed systems.

I bring over a decade of experience supporting mission-critical platforms in fintech, analytics, and healthcare, operating in 24/7 production environments. My work sits at the intersection of support and engineering—owning escalations, identifying root causes, and improving system reliability through better tooling, monitoring, and process.

What I’m Known For

🚨

Production Incident Debugging

Investigating complex production failures by correlating logs, API behavior, and database state to identify root causes and drive resolution.

🧭

Escalation Ownership

Acting as a primary escalation point, coordinating across engineering, database, and infrastructure teams to resolve issues quickly and reduce repeat incidents.

🛠️

Reliability & Tooling Improvements

Building internal tools, monitoring, and automation that improve observability, catch silent failures, and reduce operational load on teams.

Selected Experience Highlights

Production & Operations Impact

  • Led resolution of high-impact production incidents by owning investigation through deep log analysis, SQL investigation, and API-level debugging across distributed systems.
  • Owned complex customer escalations end-to-end, coordinating with engineering, product, and support teams to restore service and prevent recurrence.
  • Built and maintained internal tooling and automation to reduce manual triage and improve incident response time and reliability.
