Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAhmed Bebars is a Principal Engineer specializing in developer platforms and cloud-native infrastructure with 12 years of experience, currently leading Kubernetes-based platform delivery at The New York Times. He designs scalable, secure runtimes and routing architectures that have supported 20–30x traffic surges and streamlined multi-tenant onboarding via custom operators. Known for breaking down silos, Ahmed builds collaborative teams and Communities of Practice that accelerate adoption of AWS and cloud-native best practices across large engineering organizations. He combines hands-on execution—migration, data pipeline modernization, and CTI integration—with public-facing advocacy as a CNCF ambassador, AWS Community Builder, and contributor to community events. Ahmed pairs strategic training from MIT Professional Education with a practical background in backend systems and automation, and outside work he channels discipline from scuba diving and boxing into mentoring and community leadership. An approachable technologist with a dry sense of humor (per his GitHub bio), he seeks speaking and teaching opportunities to share platform lessons at scale.
