Approach
How I work with platform teams
1. Align on outcomes
Start with the developer experience metrics that matter—lead time, MTTR, feedback loops—and design around them.
2. Ship iteratively
Introduce lightweight platform capabilities in weeks, not months, with feedback from partner teams baked in.
3. Scale responsibly
Build in guardrails, documentation, and enablement programs so capabilities are adopted sustainably.
