Hello! I'm Pamela, an engineering manager in Chicago.

Hi everyone, I am Miriam, from SF Bay Area, engineer turned CEO of Ingenimax, we're building a developer tool to simplify usage of cloud native technologies (k8s, kserve, argocd, prom/graf/loki are currently supported for example. Looking to learn from this community on latest trends/headaches, and hopefully contribute some useful knowledge from 20+ years scaling distributed systems and teams.

Hi folks! I recently joined the Dragonfly team to lead events after spending a couple of years doing community, marketing, and devops consulting at my own company (Engagement Alchemy). Formerly, I was helping ecommerce brands at Shopify, and was CircleCI's first employee (my first foray into tech/startuplandia). While I'm not a dev, I'm a dev-adjacent cross-matrix specialist who likes to keep a thumb on the pulse of what's cooking, particularly in the land of early founder-stage and seed-stage companies. I've lived in SF for nearly 14 years and I'm looking forward to seeing what this group is up to. 💫

Hey everyone, 👋 I'm Roman, currently the Lead Platform Engineer at a ~ 100-person startup with a 15-person engineering organization. I've been in software engineering for a while - back when you had to do everything yourself - so I naturally gravitated toward both code and infra from early on. In 2020, I took a deeper dive into infra, fell in love with AWS CDK, and have been building infra as code ever since. I'm especially passionate about developer experience, tooling, and reproducibility. I use Projen extensively to scaffold and manage repositories as control planes - huge fan. Although this is my first formal platform role, I've been working in a platform-style capacity informally for years. Looking forward to learning from and sharing with others here. 🚀

Hey everyone! I'm Daniel, based in Luxembourg 🇱🇺. I am a founder of a startup that focuses on helping platform teams working in highly regulated sectors understand all the legal requirements they face.

Hey everyone — excited to be here! I'm a data engineer with 3 years of experience, currently between roles and actively transitioning into platform engineering. I recently built a Lambda-inspired data platform using Docker — 8 containers handling real-time (Kafka) and batch processing (PostgreSQL, CRON). It’s been a great deep dive into containerization. Now I'm learning Kubernetes and working on migrating the entire platform to K8s. It’s my first real hands-on with orchestration. I also have experience building Azure Data Factory pipelines and working with Azure DevOps for CI/CD. I’m drawn to the problem-solving side of platform work — infrastructure, automation, scale — and I’m looking to connect with others on the same path or already in the space. Always happy to trade notes, ideas, or feedback. GitHub: https://github.com/pyvel26/Lambda-Inspired-Platform Linkedin: https:/www.linkedin.com/in/estervelleb

Hey everyone! I’m Carlin (carlindesautels.com / https://medium.com/@carlindesautels). I’ve spent the last 10 years in DevOps and recently moved into a new role as Director of Platform Engineering and Operations at iTMethods. Quick heads-up about iTMethods: We help big teams run their Developer and DevOps tools in the cloud — making sure everything’s secure, compliant, and easy to manage. So teams can spend less time on tool headaches and more time building stuff. I’m here to: • Learn how folks build and run their internal platforms • Share some of what we’ve tried (both wins and fails) • Connect with others working on similar challenges If you want to talk about managing lots of tools or setting up platform teams, hit me up anytime! Looking forward to hanging out here.

I’m Ederson Brilhante. I’ve been doing automation, infra, and cloud stuff for years — mostly using Go, Python, and Bash.

Hey! I'm a DevExp team lead in a team making totalbattle.com which is by design very far from microservices and self-service CI/CDs. My "platform" is more like "every code you put in repo will be built, tested and deployed as part of game client or huge game server, but you don't touch pipelines' code" Will be glad to talk with someone with similar challenges, which include proving to business that we do not need self-service CI lolsob

Hi all, I am from NC. My background is in software-defined storage and data protection (and some security management). All on the engineering side - development, performance and lately quality. Been mostly in "legacy" setups where we tried to solve problems mostly with mostly -house solutions. Now that I am between jobs I am trying to catch up on the many areas where things were very challenging but now have mushroomed in to big solution spaces with cool tech - be it platform engineering or observability or smart analytics with AI/ML. ANyway, so that's my context, I hope to learn from this group and am glad to have found this!
