Hi I'm Nilesh from India. Currently working as Devops engineer and interested to learn platform engineering .

Hi I am Pooja from India Currently working as SRE and I am excited to learn more about platform engineering from the community.

Hello #intros, Marcel from Berlin, Germany here. I work for a big corporate, have been a software dev team lead and took over a kind of... EA, Consulting, someone who has an opinion to everything role (it's under construction). However I work on a concept for an internal service / product that provides developers with tools, libs, pre-configured templates and so on, mainly to make their life easier integrating their apps with other company-services or to kick-start the development of new software and this sentence is already so long and I realise that the prejudice I've read about germans making long sentences is really true. We plan thios not limited to infrastructure and Ops but for the complete stack from front- to backend, ops and what not (we actually stated with the frontend and the idea derives from a micro-frontend concept we've been working on). I don't know yet how or to which degree this blends with platform engineering as I just stared to read about it but I found this to be a good contact point. So any advice is appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm a colleague of @Sara Chizari. Like Sara, I'm a UX Researcher at Microsoft. I work on VS Code and other developer tools and services.

Hi everyone. I'm Henrik - based out of Copenhagen, DK - and co-founder of kapeta.com where we do our best to remove all the noise from software engineering - and allow engineers to just focus on building that thing that makes you different. A sort of iDP wrapped in a PaaS, with batteries included. We'd be grateful for any feedback you might have - and do reach out if you've got questions. It's free and open source - we only charge for the cloud spend (GCP prices).

Hi everyone! My name is Patrick and live in Aalten, NL. I just started as self-employed solution architect after working for different companies in the past 20+ years. I really like the platform engineering movement that is currently taking place and seeing it as something that is really needed with the state of IT today. My main reason for joining here is to connect with other people and to engage in conversations around the topic. In my assignments I come across various forms of platform engineering within different companies and having conversations helps us to learn from each other :)

Hey, I'm Patryk. I am on the channel quite for a while now, finally got to a point to introduce myself. I'm a Cloud Engineer working closely with Kubernetes since it's early versions and had the opportunity to learn it the hard way. Worked for enterprise R&D, software house and a few product companies obsessed on its customers (what I truly loved). Now I'm working on my own startup Sharedkube which is basically this sexy, catchy NaaS (Namespace as a Service) about which I bet you heard a bit on TheNewStack and at recent KubeCon EU. I hope I can identify even more pain points of startups that I've discovered during my career to solve it for you! Talk to you soon! :D

Hi all, wanted to spend a little time in read-only mode before introducing myself. I’ve spent the last few years working on automating away toil with tools like chef and ansible. Open source wise, I maintain the https://github.com/unixorn/awesome-zsh-plugins/ list, the https://github.com/unixorn/sysadmin-reading-list (which should really get renamed to devops or sre, but I don’t want to break incoming links) and the https://github.com/unixorn/zsh-quickstart-kit When I’m not working, I spend time playing with home automation or cooking.
