OC CTO Talks | Inside Google’s Approach to Reliability and Resilience

Join us for a special edition of OC CTO Talks on June 12, hosted at Google’s Irvine campus, for an inside look at how one of the world’s most trusted tech companies builds reliable and resilient systems.

This session will open with an overview of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) from Dani Massaguer, a Senior SRE at Google, followed by a fireside chat with Barclay Osborn, Google’s SRE Uber Tech Lead for Emergency Preparedness. Together, they’ll unpack real-world insights, failures, and hard-won lessons on keeping global-scale systems running—no matter the challenge.

Whether you're leading infrastructure, building platform teams, or preparing for the unexpected, this event delivers leadership-level strategies from the engineers who live it every day.

Dani Massaguer is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Google with over a decade of experience in distributed systems, hybrid cloud environments, and service resilience. He’ll moderate the conversation, drawing on his own background at AWS and Google to frame the practices and principles behind reliability at scale.

Barclay Osborn is Google’s SRE Uber Tech Lead for Emergency Preparedness. With 17+ years at Google, he leads cross-functional response and resilience efforts to ensure organizational readiness in the face of global-scale incidents—from climate disasters to infrastructure failures. Barclay’s experience spans Zero Trust systems, high-compliance security services, and major technical incident response.
