Staff Platform Engineer — Kubernetes, Go, and developer experience at scale
I build the platforms other engineers build on. Ten years across infrastructure and developer tooling, most recently cutting deploy times from 40 minutes to under 4 for a 300-engineer org.
I care about the gap between 'it works on my machine' and 'it works for three hundred engineers on a Friday afternoon'. Most of my work is unglamorous: build caching, golden paths, paved roads, and the kind of observability that means nobody has to guess at 3am. I have shipped internal developer platforms at two scale-ups and one enterprise, and I have opinions about all three.
