Our Newly Elected Governing Board Members
Dewan Ahmed, Harness
General Member Representative
Term: February 1, 2025 to February 1, 2027
Dewan Ahmed is a Principal Developer Advocate at Harness, a company that enables software engineering teams worldwide to deliver code reliably, efficiently, securely, and quickly to their users. Before joining Harness, he worked at IBM, Red Hat, and Aiven in various roles, including developer, QA lead, consultant, and developer advocate. For the past fourteen years, Dewan has tackled DevOps and infrastructure challenges for startups, large enterprises, and government organizations. He began his public speaking journey with Toastmasters in 2016 and has since been a frequent speaker at tech conferences and meetups. His work is driven by a passion for open source and a deep commitment to the tech community. Outside of work, he advocates for underrepresented groups in tech and provides pro bono career coaching as a way to give back.
I’m an Associate Principal Engineer at Nagarro and based in Cape Town, South Africa, where I love surfing my local break. When I’m not in the water, you’ll find me skateboarding, DJing, or geeking out with my six-node Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster. I’m passionate about open source projects, especially Ortelius, and dedicated to building world class internal developer platforms.
