Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarlan Barnes is a Senior DevOps Architect with over two decades in IT and 14 years focused in hands-on infrastructure, CI/CD, and cloud-native operations. He designs and automates multi-cloud platforms—including ground-up Kubernetes, Terraform/Terragrunt modules, and global networking across AWS and OCI—to deliver consistent test, staging, and production environments. A practitioner of DevOps philosophy, he builds self-service tooling and release strategies that empower development and QA while reducing operational friction. He has led teams and founded product-operations groups that supported high-volume, multi-tenant production systems and streamlined delivery for non-technical stakeholders. Notably, Harlan couples traditional systems engineering (from Solaris and Windows estates to modern containers) with pragmatic automation (Packer, Chef, Jenkins) to speed release velocity and enforce standards. Based in Marietta, GA, he favors pragmatic, auditable solutions that balance manageability, scalability, and real-world developer productivity.
