I’m a passionate and detail-oriented Backstage Developer with hands-on experience in building, customizing, and scaling developer portals using Spotify’s Backstage framework. My focus is on enhancing developer productivity and engineering excellence by streamlining internal tools, improving service discoverability, and enabling seamless software cataloging.

With a strong foundation in Node.js, React, and Kubernetes, I design and implement plugins, integrations, and workflows that bring visibility and automation to engineering processes. I thrive in DevOps and platform engineering teams, where Backstage acts as the central hub for developer experience.

Areas of expertise

• Backstage customization & plugin development
• Software Catalog (Templates, Entities, TechDocs)
• CI/CD integrations (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc.)
• Service onboarding automation
• Kubernetes, Helm & infrastructure visibility
• Developer portal adoption strategy

Experienced Backstage Developer with a strong background in platform engineering and internal developer portal customization. I specialize in building and extending Spotify’s Backstage framework to streamline developer workflows, improve service discoverability, and enhance DevOps productivity. My expertise includes developing custom plugins, integrating CI/CD pipelines, automating software catalog entries, and optimizing the developer experience across engineering teams.

I have successfully contributed to scaling internal platforms in cloud-native environments using tools like Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub, and Jenkins.

I hold a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) degree, which provided a strong foundation in software engineering, system architecture, and cloud technologies. During my studies, I gained hands-on experience with programming, web development, and DevOps concepts—skills that I now apply in building and customizing developer portals using Spotify’s Backstage platform.
