Platform Engineer
amundsonalexa@gmail.com | github.com/blackboxprogramming
No platform team, no internal tools budget. Built a complete developer platform from scratch: 212 CLI tools, self-hosted Git, code search, CI/CD pipelines, and automated observability — because waiting for someone else wasn't an option.
The Gap: No Developer Platform Exists
- 1,603 repos across 17 GitHub orgs + 207 Gitea repos — needed unified tooling to manage code, deploy, search, and monitor across all of it
- Built 212 CLI tools (121 MB) — every common workflow is a single command: deploy, probe, audit, sync, collect, report
- Self-hosted Gitea on the fleet with 207 repos across 7 orgs — full Git sovereignty with GitHub-to-Gitea relay syncing every 30 minutes
The Platform: Search, Deploy, Observe
- Code search engine indexing 354 repos with FTS5 full-text search — find anything across the entire codebase in milliseconds
- 99 Cloudflare Pages projects with git-push deployment — every commit triggers build and deploy automatically
- 10-collector KPI system generates daily observability: fleet health, code velocity, cloud inventory, service status
Why It Matters
- A solo developer operating at the output of a small team needs tools that multiply, not slow down
- 326 commits/day sustained velocity. 4,019 PRs merged. 20 languages. This throughput requires platform, not heroics
