One of the most common ways to start building an internal development platform is to capture common product engineer workflows in a command-line interface tool. Simona & Jonny will talk about their experiences building CLI tools, the advantages building these tools offer, and why you should consider them over big pricey third party IDPs (at least the start).

Simona Ionascu has five years of IT experience, coming from a joint background in computer science and economics. For the past few years, she’s been focusing on making cloud solutions to make developers’ lives easier. Her cat’s name is Calypso.

Jonny Sywulak has spent the better part of his career helping delivery teams reduce cycle time and increase quality of their products. He’s always looking for ways to help engineers deliver value faster and safer, and will not shut up about how great pair programming is no matter how many times we ask him to. He also uses way too many emojis in his commit messages.
