In this talk I walk you through the history and evolution of Grammarly's engineering platform team from 2021 to 2025. Challenges, visions, solutions, pitfalls, lessons and wins – all around our understanding and re-understanding of the famous 'you build it, you own it' principle.

This talk highlights automating Supply Chain security by integrating tools like Renovate, Wiz, GitLab, and JFrog Artifactory into existing workflows. It details centralized artifact management, embedding automated security scans that block vulnerable deployments (with an override option), and maintaining source code security with runtime monitoring and effective SLAs.

In this talk, I share my experience of creating and launching tutorial-based project — Platform University — to onboard new employees onto the internal DevOps tooling.

This talk shares the ways we manage the GitLab CI runners infrastructure with EKS and Karpenter: what the permissions (IAM) and network management look like; how we mutate K8s pods at launch with the Kyverno policy engine to provide more agility for CI configuration to users; how ArgoCD and GitLab are relevant in this process.
