Platform Engineer/Melbourne, Australia

Ryan
Miriyagalla.

I work on internal developer platforms, Kubernetes and automation. Mostly, that means working out why things are harder than they need to be, and quietly making them easier.

Untangling, one thread at a time

  1. Some problems arrive as knots.

    A developer frowning at the tangleAnother developer, stressed

    Where do we
    even start?

  2. First, understand it.

    Ryan, arms crossed, quietly studying the knot

    What is it
    actually for?

  3. Then make it simple.

  4. And keep it that way.

    Oh. That’s it?

About

Fewer knots. More music.

I sit between developers and infrastructure, making the platform underneath feel simpler. Off the clock: music, the odd trip and sunrises worth getting up for.
