Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarlen Bains is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building scalable infrastructure, DevOps platforms, and full-stack products for startups and enterprises. He combines deep AWS and IaC expertise (Terraform/CDKTF), CI/CD modernization, and modern JavaScript stacks to accelerate delivery while reducing risk and cloud costs—recently driving a 30% cloud spend reduction and multi-account migration at a Series B startup.

Actively exploring senior/staff roles in DevOps, platform, or full-stack engineering, he emphasizes developer experience and production reliability.
