Farah Sara Alam

Overview

Based in Hyderabad. I lead cloud infrastructure at Granite Ops. Shipped a rewrite that took build times from 15 minutes to under 4. Reduced cloud spend on infrastructure by 38% in two quarters. Before that: SAP and Dream11. Board games, hiking, and terrible puns.

Slower in the last week of each quarter
