Hey Platform Engineering enthusiasts! I'm Scott Moore and I work at doma.com building out our DevOps, SRE, and Cloud teams. Most recently we just did a migration with all of our app teams from Heroku to Azure (AKS), which is a very different way of operating for our teams. Happy to chat with anyone here about all sorts of platform things, I also have a history with running UI and Node.js/GraphQL platform teams.

Hey folks. I work at the Walt Disney Company out of the UK, in a global team called Content Platforms Engineering. Content platforms is responsible for the media supply chain, connecting our studios where content is created, through to our distribution parters (including Disney+ and Hotstar) for consumption by our Guests. I'm more on the software engineering and architecture side than devops, and am here to keep up with the architectural thinking about platforms. At this time we're re-imagining (and replatforming) how all that plumbing works, and a couple of our architects are attending these sessions for inspiration.
