Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolUmar Nawaz is a DevOps engineer based in Berlin with a decade of experience building and automating cloud-native delivery pipelines and observability for microservices and frontends. He combines hands-on platform work—Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, AWS/GCP—and CI/CD automation (GitLab, Concourse, Jenkins DSL) with pragmatic security integrations like OWASP ZAP and Whitesource. Previously a full‑stack developer on large projects (EdX marketing site, Drupal/Symfony backends, Backbone/Angular frontends), he leverages that application-level experience to design reliable release workflows and monitoring. Umar is comfortable across languages and tooling—Java/Kafka/Spring Boot, Python, PHP, JS—and often bridges gaps between dev, ops, and security teams. Colleagues describe him as a dependable problem solver who seeks continuous growth; outside work he enjoys running, swimming and learning cloud technologies. An unusual strength is his blend of hands-on platform automation and prior product-level frontend/backend development, which helps him anticipate and reduce operational friction.
