Noah Berg

author
Noah earned a B.Eng. in Software Engineering from RWTH Aachen and an M.Sc. in Sustainable Computing from KTH. He moved from SRE work into measuring software energy use and building carbon-aware schedulers for batch workloads. He loves the puzzle of hitting SLOs while shrinking kilowatt-hours. He writes about greener infrastructure: practical energy metrics, workload shifting, and procurement choices that matter. Noah contributes open calculators for estimating emissions, speaks at meetups about sustainable SRE, and publishes postmortems that include environmental impact. When not tuning systems, he shoots 35mm film, bakes crusty loaves, and plans alpine hikes around weather windows.
