I am a seasoned veteran of 20+ years as an IT Professional. I have worked with numerous development teams ranging from 4 developers to 200+. I started my career as an application developer. Starting with my very first college internships, nearly every team I was on, somehow I always found myself in charge of the build systems, back before DevOps was even a term. At a certain point I found that I actually enjoyed working with CI/CD systems and cloud platforms. As my career continues to evolve, I find myself striking a balance between Software Developer and Platform Engineer, truly walking the fine line between these two personas that is the crux of DevOps. This experience has given me a somewhat unique view of my role in that, while recognizing the importance of SLOs, uptime and well orchestrated deployments, it is also just as important to maintain a good developer experience at the same time.
