Bio
Joar Sæther
Keet worked in my team as a Tech Lead for the SRE team we were starting up. Keet has a great positive attitude, and an analytical approach to tasks, and is very good at discovering areas that need improvements, automation, toil reduction, and better processes. The number of tools and initiatives that Keet kicked off during his time in our Site Reliability team was extreme. I am impressed at the level of collaboration he managed to arrange between our outsourced SRE team and the rest of Cognite Engineering based in Oslo. Due to travel restrictions during Covid, all work had to be done remotely, and Keet proved to us all that being remote does not have to slow you down.

Keet is one of the few true full-stack engineers I’ve worked with. He’s an all-rounder and takes pride of every aspect of the work he is doing. He was key in building an SRE team and leading the team here at Sysco labs. His in-depth knowledge on micro-services, serverless functions and many related AWS services was really helpful for our SRE team to support world class ecommerce platform while maintaining high availability of the platform. His leadership skills enabled team to grow their skills and develop new tools, processes and success with automation. He also contributed a lot to improve the product by giving constant feedback to product development teams based on production incidents and proactively identifying potential incidents before it reaches customers. He is a great resource to have. I wish him success with his future endeavors.
