CLOUD NATIVE ENGINEER · AWS COMMUNITY BUILDER · CNCF CONTRIBUTOR
Four years building cloud native infrastructure — Kubernetes, AWS, security pipelines, GitOps, observability. Top-5 contributor to a CNCF project. Now learning how LLMs and agentic systems fit into the infrastructure layer. I build things that hold up.

Clarity over cleverness — if it needs a long comment to explain, it needs a rewrite.
Language-agnostic — pick the tool that fits the problem, not the familiar one.
Learning in public — document as you go. Notes beat memory every time. notes.farhanahmed.pro
Consistency — maintainability over flashy complexity, every time.
Cloud native infra by day, LLMs and agentic systems by night.
The infrastructure layer of AI is being built right now — I want to be part of that.
