About Ajay Chankramath
Ajay Chankramath is Chief Technology Officer at Platform Engineering. Location: Denver Metropolitan Area, United States.
I'm the Founder & CEO of Platformetrics, an AI-first platform engineering advisory that helps enterprises transform engineering complexity into competitive advantage. My work sits at the intersection of platform strategy, architecture, developer experience, and AI-driven automation. I partner with engineering leaders to design and implement internal developer platforms that measurably accelerate software delivery and build the organizational capability to sustain that advantage over time. On the practitioner side, I'm the co-author of Effective Platform Engineering (Manning 2025) and Domain-Driven Platform engineering (Springer 2026) and the author of Platform Engineer's Handbook (Packt 2026). I'm also the creator of several courses of Platform Engineering including, but not limited to Platform Architect Certification, Agentic AI in platform engineering and Cloud Native Platform Engineering. I speak regularly at conferences and contribute to the wider Platform Engineering community, and publish on the evolving role of AI in platform engineering. Platformetrics works with organizations across financial services, healthcare, and technology, including one of the world's largest banks and a Fortune 500 healthcare innovator, delivering fractional CTO advisory, platform architecture engagements, and hands-on training. If you're scaling an internal developer platform, exploring AI's role in platform engineering, or building a platform team that needs to operate at enterprise scale — I'd love to connect.
