Senior🎓
Top SchoolVernon Osborne is a Head of Platform with 10 years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native, secure API platforms and high-availability iPaaS deployments across hybrid environments. He combines deep Kubernetes and GitOps expertise (CKA/CKAD) with practical skills in observability at scale using Prometheus/Thanos and custom alerting to enable fast, reliable delivery without sacrificing compliance. Vernon has progressed through technical roles at DeARX from integration specialist to platform architect and now platform leader, bringing long-term WSO2 integration experience that predates many modern API-first stacks. He excels at automating day-2 operations, managing OAuth2-based identity lifecycles, and optimizing cost and resilience across multi-cluster landscapes. Based in the Western Cape, Vernon thrives where performance matters and security is non-negotiable, and he enjoys collaborating with engineers and SREs to turn platform capabilities into product-grade developer experiences.
