About Rameez Ahmad

As a Team Lead-SRE at Arctic Wolf, I lead a team of five SREs who are responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure on AWS that is used by internal and external customers. I also drive new technical initiatives within the organization, such as feature flagging, chaos engineering, incident management automation, and FinOps on AWS. I work closely with other R&D and product management teams to deliver the best cost-effective platform on AWS. I have close to a decade of experience as a cloud solutions architect and a DevOps engineer, working with various technologies and tools, such as GIT, Jenkins, Maven, JFrog, Chef, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Nagios, CloudWatch, Apache, Nginx, JBOSS, CloudFormation, and Terraform. I have worked on projects involving cloud-based environment management, solution design, serverless computing, continuous integration and deployment, application deployment, business requirements elicitation, and data analysis. I have also provided technical assistance and guidance on Prisma Cloud, a cloud native security solution by Palo Alto Networks, to enterprise-grade customers across EMEA. I am a client-centric and problem-solving professional, with multiple certifications in AWS, Azure, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from Visvesvaraya Technological University.
