• Implemented device update and management features

The Platform Team

Key Contributions:

• Supported infrastructure needs across multiple engineering teams
• Implemented deployment pipelines and processes

Impact & Learning

My time at Arm was great and the experience I gained working for such a large global project was brilliant.

Key learnings included:

• Operating at massive scale (millions of IoT devices)
• Working in a large, distributed engineering organization
• Platform engineering and DevOps practices
• Supporting multiple teams with infrastructure and tooling

This experience shaped my understanding of platform engineering and the importance of building systems that empower other engineers - a philosophy I carried forward throughout my career.
