Engineering Internal Developer Platforms & Resilient SRE Systems
Staff Platform Engineer with over 10 years of experience migrating monolithic portals into high-velocity Backstage plugin ecosystems and automating zero-trust GitOps infrastructure.
Retiring a 106k-Line Backstage Monolith
Led the migration of a 106k-line legacy IDP portal — 24 custom plugins plus a 34.8k-line application monolith — into nine independently released plugin repositories, replacing repeated production outages with GitOps delivery and lifting automated test coverage from a ~32% baseline to an enforced 80% statement threshold.
