# Jens Plüddemann
Observability consultant focusing on OpenTelemetry and cloud-native monitoring.

## About

Jens Plüddemann helps engineering teams actually see what their systems are doing. Working at Novatec Consulting GmbH, he focuses on observability and implementing OpenTelemetry across cloud-native environments to capture metrics, traces, and logs.

His work centers on practical telemetry patterns for polyglot microservices. He guides developers through the mechanics of both manual and automatic instrumentation for Java and Python applications, showing them how to effectively route data and analyze the results in tools like Jaeger and Prometheus.
