Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDivya is a Platform Engineer based in New York with 11 years of full-stack experience, primarily at startups where she builds developer-facing infrastructure and tooling. She helped launch Fly.io’s V1 machines API—writing the CLI, a custom orchestrator, and observability tooling for Firecracker microVMs—and later improved billing pipelines using TimescaleDB and Stripe. At Netlify she focused on developer experience and internal reliability tools, shipping CLIs, edge routing utilities, and services in Rust, Go, TypeScript, and Vue. Her open-source contributions include UX improvements to Netlify’s identity widget and adding machine lifecycle features to the widely used flyctl CLI, reflecting a mix of front-end polish and DevOps depth. Known for moving between product-facing UI work and low-level platform systems, she pairs pragmatic engineering with an eye for improving developer velocity.
