developer hub & experience
a technically excellent platform still fails if developers cannot find or consume it. i work to make platform consumption intentional through developer hub capabilities.
problem
tribal knowledge and undocumented one-offs make platforms hard to adopt, even when the underlying technology is solid.
approach
- —establish developer hub patterns based on the backstage ecosystem
- —centralize discovery of services, docs, templates, ownership, and onboarding paths
- —publish golden paths for kubernetes, gitops, automation, security, and operational requirements
- —treat documentation and examples as part of the platform product
outcomes
- —reduced reliance on tribal knowledge
- —clearer self-service and onboarding stories
- —platform consumption framed as product experience, not ticket roulette
