About Leon

So who is this Leon guy, anyway?!?

This is where I hang up my professional hat, when I’m not saving the world from inefficient systems management processes.

What I do

In my sordid career, I have been an actor, bug exterminator and wild-animal remover (nothing crazy like pumas or wildebeasts. Just skunks and raccoons.), electrician, carpenter, stage-combat instructor/choreographer, sign-language interpreter, and teacher.

Oh, and I do stuff with computers. Specifically with monitoring and observability.

Over 33 years, I’ve worked with just about everything: from old warhorse tools like Tivoli, Patrol, Openview, and SolarWinds; to newer and more SaaS-y solutions like New Relic. My goal is always to solve a problem, not just build an impressive screen or alert. To help customers sleep easy at night while simultaneously waking up the appropriate staff if – and only if – there is a real emergency to deal with. Making your weekend longer because you know you’ll be interrupted if – and ONLY if – there’s a real issue.

And I end up writing about it.

A lot.

What you should know about me

I talk – and communicate (email, IM, memos, manuals, lists, updates) a lot. But the “about” page of a web site may not be the best place for all of that. Check out my resume and/or my professional blog. You can also check out my articles and appearances and my speaker page.

Or drop me a line. You can find me:

  • On Bluesky: leonadato.bsky.social
  • On LinkedIn: LeonAdato
  • On Github: LeonAdato

Strike up a conversation. I’ve always got time to share a thought or two.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Show Your Support

Let me clear: I don't want ANYONE paying if they don't want to, or if money is tight. I do this because it makes me happy to help. At the same time, some folks have asked how they can show appreciation. So here are some options if you are so moved.

  • Make a donation to my synagogue
  • Make a donation to the cause of your choice, and just mention me in your donation note.
  • Schedule yourself to donate blood.
  • Buy me Kofi
