I helped create Platform Engineering as a discipline and built several initiatives that bring it to life.
On the theory side, I write a book and essays that define the frameworks - Internal Developer Platform, Paths to Outcome, Cost of Chaos.
On the operating side:
- Canyon: Semantic Data Layer for enterprise AI
- PlatformCon: annual conference
- PlatformEngineering.org: open community
- Weave Intelligence: analyst firm
- Platform University: education programs
- Advisory: enterprise services
- Humanitec: platform orchestrator
None of these are individual efforts; each exists through collaboration with partners and colleagues.
