Top SchoolFarley Farley is a founder and engineering-heavy leader based in New Plymouth, New Zealand, with 11+ years of experience architecting and operating large-scale cloud-native systems for startups and enterprises. He combines hands-on DevOps/SRE work—Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GitLab CI, Prometheus/Grafana—with product-minded architecture, having led migrations to Kubernetes and built well-architected multi-account AWS environments. A seasoned technical advisor and trainer, he scales teams and tooling as readily as infrastructure, routinely documenting, teaching, and instilling CI/CD and automation best practices. He prefers long-term, testable, well-commented code and open-sourcing work when possible, and has a rare breadth that spans from low-level hardware/colocation to cloud serverless and monitoring. Notably, he’s built or contributed to 20+ mobile apps and runs a consulting company focused on training the next generation of DevOps engineers.
