Darko Fabijan is a founder and engineering leader with 15+ years building developer-facing platforms, most recently as CEO of SuperPlane after a long tenure as Co-founder & CTO of Semaphore.io. He combines hands-on systems work—contributing to projects like the Phoenix framework router and project generator—with product-driven leadership that helped companies such as Confluent, Replit, and Zendesk accelerate delivery. Darko is passionate about developer experience and open source, hosts the Semaphore Uncut podcast, and has a knack for turning CI/CD and pipeline complexity into usable tools. Based in New York, he blends startup grit from multiple successful early ventures with a pragmatic focus on automation, observability, and AI-enabled operations. An unexpected detail: when not designing developer workflows he goes hiking and collects ticks, reflecting a curiosity that spans code and field biology.
