Hi, I am Harith Bakhrani
I Engineer Web Applications And Automate Their Deployment To The Cloud
I am a Software / DevOps Engineer based in Mombasa, Kenya. I first gained interest in the field of Computer Science after pursuing Introduction To Computer Science offered by the University of Harvard on EdX in the year 2014. Ever since I have been learning about Computer Science through online courses and practicing my problem-solving skills on HackerRank. After having worked at Andela Kenya for two years now, I have begun to think about how to better engineer web applications and architect highly-available, fault-tolerant infrastructure on the cloud to accommodate millions of people!
