Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFelisia Martini is a Staff Software Engineer based in Edinburgh with 8 years’ experience building and maintaining cloud-native services, particularly in the Cloud Foundry ecosystem. She champions XP practices—pair programming, TDD and clean code—and leads teams to deliver reliable, testable APIs and CI/CD pipelines using Go, Ruby on Rails, BOSH, Concourse and Terraform. At VMware she led the Cloud Foundry core services API redesign, authored community-facing API proposals and drives OSBAPI implementations used across service broker tooling. Her open-source contributions to flagship Cloud Foundry projects (cloud_controller_ng, cf-acceptance-tests and the cf CLI) focus on hardening acceptance tests, improving CLI broker workflows and clearer error handling. Known for mentoring new engineers and shaping team practices, she pairs technical leadership with hands-on debugging and support of production systems. Unusually for an API-focused engineer, she also has prior experience delivering Azure B2C identity solutions and rapid mobile prototypes, bringing a broad practical perspective to cloud identity and integration challenges.
