Bas Vegter

Platform Engineer, Dutch Railways

I started my IT career in testing about 15 years ago, and in the first 5 years I moved from functional testing to test coordination and test management. After that I focused on performance testing and test automation, but soon this shifted back to organisational support in building test platforms.

3 years ago I started working full time for the Dutch Railways and apart from the test platform (paved roads) I'm focusing on the whole developer journey from tech stack to CI-CD to running communities/guilds.

From platform teams to a platform organization: Connecting the dots

A year ago we changed our existing platform approach. Where we (Central Platform Organisation) weren’t actually helping the developers, we needed to connect the dots. However we firstly needed to identify which dots were worthy. In this talk, we share lessons from our platform journey to improve developer experience from a fragmented approach to an integral approach; the developer journey.
