🏆 CHAMPIONS ALERT! 🚨 Founder and Principal at Bazata Tech LLC , Stephani Bazata, joins the ranks as our newest Kong Champion!! 🎉 Stephani has a wealth of experience in API platforms and is passionate about driving value through effective API strategies. 🗣️ “I previously led teams to build and run a homegrown open source API platform. I helped drive the purchase of Kong as a secure API gateway to an SAP rise implementation before departing UPRR. I see many additional opportunities to leverage Kong Mesh. I have now selected Kong as a key product to recommend to clients as I advise them on strategic consulting initiatives. I've selected Kong to focus on because I believe it is the strongest solution in the market. I am passionate about helping companies understand how an effective API strategy will directly impact their ability to drive value. My strength is decomposing difficult problems and showing people a path forward. It's not always easy to convince business leaders to invest in their technology stack. I love connecting those dots and helping to get product owners and business leaders equally as excited as the platform engineers and developers about what implementing Kong can do for their bottom line. I am a product-minded champion who will advocate for the role Kong plays in successful implementations.” Here are just a few of the massive things Stephani has accomplished to date 👇 🔷 Built core platforms to migrate from mainframe to API platform and led development registry, facilitating the scale of 5,000+ APIs. 🔷 Led development teams to replace mainframe applications in a microservices and event-driven architecture using the custom API platform. 🔷 Defined a strategy to pilot internal ChatGPT-like functionality, laying the foundation for custom AI solutions. 🔷 Designed and implemented IP networks for internal field offices Stephani, we're excited to have you on board and can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll bring to the Kong community!
