Meet the Grafana Labs team: Matt Mendick, an engineering director managing Prometheus, Loki, and Cortex developers

Matt Mendick, an engineering director at Grafana Labs, manages a team of backend engineers focused on open-source projects like Cortex, Loki, and Prometheus. After leading the development of Cortex for five years, Grafana Labs has shifted its focus to Grafana Mimir, a scalable long-term storage solution for Prometheus. Matt, based in Rochester, New York, values the opportunity to work in an open-source-oriented company and has contributed to internal processes and minor public contributions, such as fixing a logo link in Cortex's readme. Outside of work, he enjoys family time, preparing dinners, and attending CrossFit sessions. To enhance his work environment, he uses a high-quality microphone for video calls, and he recently binge-watched the series Silicon Valley.
