    blob waver Hey team. I'm Ben. I've been working as a DevOps generalist for 10 years (platform duty included) and I'm looking to expand my Platform skills and land a new role after being laid off in January. Currently I'm working on a couple of early stage startups with friends and juggling a full plate of interviews. I've been mostly playing with k8s, Django, and dabbling a bit in CircuitPy. blob waver

    Hi everyone, I’m Tigran. I’ve spent the last few years leading data platform and personalization initiatives at Capital One, where I built systems to unify behavioral data, ensure compliance, and support real-time activation across business lines. Before that, I led engineering and platform modernization at Wells Fargo, including major delivery and DevOps transformations. Lately, I’ve been focused on how data architecture, GenAI enablement, and TPM org design come together to support large-scale systems and teams. I joined to connect with others working on similar challenges and to share ideas about execution at scale. Portfolio: tigranmuradyants.com

    Hello! 👋 I'm Mehdi currently based in London 🙂 I'm currently a platform engineer at Ripple, and I'm super excited to learn what's buzzing in the platform engineering community 🎉 About me: It's been just a year since I took a turn in my career; from working closely with end-user customers to now developing reliable platforms that other engineers can utilise to make amazing products. For the past ~10 years I have been mostly doing Java, Go and Python with a dash of React + TS in the side. In some distant past life I had been a C# developer and even C++ developer for some time. Away from the keyboard; I love cooking 👨‍🍳 and playing video games 😄 🎮 and also doing some coding on the side. I want to start learning Zig but there's just too many unfinished tasks in my bucket list 😵

    Hello everyone 🙂 I've been a TPM in/around the platform space for quite some time now; currently between roles due to RIF. I was volunteering at PlatformCon LON yesterday so may have met a few of you at the checkin desk or scanning you in to sessions in the Platform Therapy room. I quite enjoyed the event and thought I'd see what folks were talking about on here (also https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-dresser/ in case anyone wants to connect)

    Hi everyone! I was listening to Patrick DeBois' talk at PlatformCon earlier this week, "Why AI needs a platform team" and he talked about the need for a caching layer. I work at Fastly and we have an inline semantic cache that platform teams can use. It's pretty easy to implement (just one line of code) and you can test it out w/ a free account and self-serve. LMK if you have any questions or comments. 🙂
