Ionut Craciunescu

Head of Engineering Utility Warehouse

CONFERENCE DAY TWO - Thursday 23rd October

3:00 PM PRESENTATION: Paved Paths and Platform Shifts - Evolving DevEx Through Strategic Enablement

Standardised tooling, strong support models, and measurable impact combined can evolve both platform architecture and the developer experience. Join Ionut Craciunescu, both a strategy and engineering leader as well as Head of Engineering at Utility Warehouse, as he shares how a newly formed Dev Enablement team supercharged developer productivity and navigated a complex migration from self-hosted Kafka to AWS MSK by:

  • Blending DevEx and platform engineering to create cohesive developer experiences.
  • Providing paved paths and libraries (e.g., franz-go) that support safe, scalable migrations.
  • Building trust through ownership, support, and clear communication.
  • Measuring ROI through engineering time saved and increased option value.
