Overview
Integration and federated API engineering workstream that grew from connecting internal tools and platform services into the foundation for the SIS API mandate — the productized API layer for SIE's internal infrastructure platform.
Achievement
Aligned the technology structure of the Federated API platform with the broader Platform Architecture — evolving from a GraphQL/UI layer to Kubernetes CRDs covering Infrastructure, Network, and Cloud resources.
Outcomes
- ◆ Technology alignment achieved with Platform Architecture across the full resource stack
- ◆ Architecture evolved from GraphQL/UI to Kubernetes CRDs for Infrastructure, Network, and Cloud
- ◆ Established a unified API integration model applicable across platform domains
Key Learning
This initiative helped me grow from product UX leadership into platform integration and API productization leadership — and taught me that the most valuable foundation you can build for a future product is a team that already understands the integration landscape it will need to navigate.
