Summary
Farhan Umer is a Site Reliability Engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, primarily on AWS (EKS, ECS, RDS, S3) and using IaC tools like Terraform, CloudFormation and Cloud-native CD tools such as ArgoCD and GoCD. He combines deep systems and network expertise—data center operations for 100+ servers, VPNs, firewalls, and VoIP—with modern DevOps practices including containerization, CI/CD pipelines, Packer image builds and Ansible configuration management. Farhan has led operations teams, managed incident and ticket workflows, and delivered scalable deployments for Django/Open edX and React/Python applications on Kubernetes. His background spans full stack server administration across Linux and Windows, extensive backup/disaster-recovery planning, and security/hardening work including vulnerability analysis and IDS/IPS tooling. Notably, he brings cross-provider experience (Rackspace, Linode, GoDaddy) and a pragmatic blend of scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and traditional infrastructure skills that help bridge legacy stacks to cloud-native platforms.
