Internal Developer Platform

One of the engineers who built the company's IDP from its early days — today used by dozens of squads. Worked across the platform stack end to end (Backstage, Crossplane, Terraform, multi-cloud, GitOps) and built backend services in Node.js / NestJS / TypeScript with versioned REST/OpenAPI contracts, PostgreSQL, Docker and CI/CD. Owned features end-to-end — technical design, deployment, production monitoring and iteration — with security best practices (authn/z, input validation).
