👋 Hey everyone, I’m Justin Eichenberger, Director of Platform Engineering at Care Lumen. I’m currently leading the effort to stand up a Platform Engineering organization in 2026, and I’m here to exchange ideas and learn from folks who’ve been doing this well.

Hi Everyone, My name is Angelo and I am currently a Senior Cloud Engineer located in New Jersey, USA. I have been working the last 8 years at financial service companies specifically Vanguard and Fidelity Investments. At Vanguard I worked on and eventually became tech lead of their Open Account product platform team. At Fidelity I manage an internal developer platform that enables the rest of the company's engineers to work in AWS by providing things like AWS account management/provisioning/suspension, privileged production access, RBAC, identity provider configuration, etc. I also built a framework that allows for other platform teams to deploy resources/configurations across our fleet of nearly 2,000 AWS accounts. I also lead our disaster recovery initiative which allowed for an easy-cutover during the latest AWS outage and filled major gaps in the resiliency of our databases and services; pioneered a serverless API design that has been adopted by a dozen teams and growing across our org, and presented at enterprise events on the importance of acceptance/behavior testing. I believe the most important skill for an engineer to have is the ability to ask the right questions and I believe in fostering an engineering culture where my teammates feel safe and empowered to collaborate and make decisions. I am currently looking for my next role and to be honest it has me incredibly anxious. Just finding roles that seem worth applying to is a challenge. I have only had 1 phone screening so far and it was a terrible experience where the interviewer showed up 15 minutes late, skipped introductions and immediately began quizzing me on ECS which if he had bothered to read my resume would know I have limited experience of. It was disheartening and I could go on about the experience but the point is I am now getting really nervous about finding my next job. My network is relatively small as I have done a poor job networking outside of my organizations and so I am searching for likeminded individuals that might offer some guidance or friendship. Bonus points if you play Dota2. https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelo-carbonaro-a6142688/
