I also took a moment to share some podcasts I was a guest on this past year. It was an honor to have the opportunity to share more about what Platform Engineering means to me. Check them out!🎙️
Podcast Appearances to Discuss Platform Engineering ~ chadxz.dev
Two podcasts I appeared on to discuss Platform Engineering.
What's going on
Since my last writing, I left Sotheby’s to join James Turnbull at the startup where he is now the CTO: Smartrr. Smartrr is a SaaS that provides subscriptions and loyalty functionality to Shopify brands. I’ve been there about a year now as a Senior Staff Engineer, working full stack as well as doing some infrastructure. I’m really enjoying it and gave a talk about my experience at DevOpsDays. When the recording is released, I will share it along with a transcript of the talk.
Lately I’ve been exploring technologies like ts-rest for constructing REST APIs in Typescript, Nx for monorepo build tooling, Drizzle ORM for a Typescript-first database layer, and the Vite ecosystem for frontend build and test tooling. If you’re also interested in these things, hit me up, would love to discuss!
