Caskey Engineering

Field notes from principal-scope platform work.

Case studies, essays, and tools on safety-critical platforms, workflow orchestration, and AI-augmented engineering — the work that backs the writing at case studies and the field notes on the blog. For the person behind the work, see ericcaskey.com.

What I Build

Safety Systems

Platform-enforced safety for automated infrastructure operations. Teams build workflows; the platform ensures they meet reliability standards before anything executes.

Platform Monitoring

Infrastructure observability standardized at enterprise scale — 400,000+ monitors at Prudential, and monitoring standards adopted across thousands of services at Amazon.

AI-Augmented Engineering
