Ali Burak Genç

For the past 15 years, I’ve specialized in designing and implementing monitoring systems, predominantly using SCOM. With over 20 years of experience in network and system administration, I’ve worked across retail, media, and financial services, gaining insights into diverse business requirements. This enabled me to develop tailored monitoring solutions and integrations using SCOM. In recent years, my focus has expanded to include cloud and open-source solutions such as Azure, Prometheus/Grafana, and Zabbix. Outside of my professional pursuits, I also have a keen interest in photography.
