👋 Hi, I'm Victor Ikeme
Senior Cloud Platforms Architect | Creator of Build Platforms Daily | Certified Platform Engineer (PEU)
I specialize in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that streamline software delivery for fast-moving teams. My work blends deep cloud infrastructure expertise with a strong product mindset — helping engineering orgs ship platforms that developers love and actually want to use.
I work at the intersection of:
- 🧱 DevOps and Platform Engineering
- 🧑💻 Developer Experience (DevEx)
- 🧭 Cloud-Native Architecture
- 🧩 Platform Product Strategy
My mission is simple: help teams turn scattered cloud-native tooling into cohesive, secure, and scalable developer platforms.
- 🛠️ Design and implement Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) tailored to team needs, built for scale and usability.
- ☁️ Work across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenShift) and IaC stacks (Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi).
- 🔁 Use platform orchestrators like Humanitec, Kratix, and Qovery to abstract infra and enable self-service.
- 🌐 Build and extend IDP portals using Backstage, Port, Red Hat Developer Hub, and Humanitec UI.
- 📦 Advocate for Platforms-as-Products, promoting adoption through UX, documentation, feedback loops, and DevEx metrics.
- ✍️ Write hands-on tutorials, platform engineering patterns, and tool deep dives on Build Platforms Daily.
✅ Whether you're a recruiter looking for platform talent, a CTO modernizing delivery workflows, or an engineer building your first IDP — I create content and tools to help you succeed.
