Overview

I've spent 5 years on API platforms - first at H&M Group, now at Plume HQ. Reduced cloud spend on public API by 21% in two quarters. Mentored 15 engineers through their first promotion. Previously at H&M Group. Most at home with PostgreSQL and rate limiting. I host a monthly meetup on API platforms.
