Developer Productivity Platform Tooling (Go CLI with Plugin Architecture)
Context
70+ developers losing 5+ hours/week to inconsistent tooling, slow debugging cycles, and 7-day onboarding process hampering growth, productivity, and significantly increasing cognitive load.
Action
Architected and built extensible Go-based DevEx CLI with plugin SDK supporting 50+ commands. Implemented workstation bootstrapping, multi-environment cloud management tooling, code artifact tooling, and workstation setup tooling. Created versioned release pipeline via S3 with auto-update mechanism. Established plugin marketplace with templates enabling teams to contribute domain-specific tools.
Result
Reduced onboarding from 7 days to 10 minutes. Saved $500k+ by standardizing workstation tooling, access, and upgrade process. Achieved 100% adoption across engineering with over 80% using it daily. Plugin ecosystem grew to 20+ team-contributed extensions.
