Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBoris Pavlovic is a founder and CEO and seasoned engineering leader with 13+ years building cloud-native infrastructure, most recently launching ITLook to bring agentic AI into enterprise-grade operations. He combines hands-on systems engineering—from deep OpenStack contributions (Rally, Glance, Nova) to DevOps tooling—with leadership roles at Mirantis, GoDaddy, Nutanix, and large-scale product delivery. Known for pragmatic architecture, predictable delivery, and cultivating autonomous, trust-based teams, he has a track record of turning prototypes into production and growing open-source communities (Rally reached 250+ contributors under his stewardship). Based in California, he blends academic rigor in system programming with practical performance and reliability engineering, and even nicknames himself a “Software Magician” on GitHub. Notably, his OSS work includes integrating common OpenStack libraries and performance tracing to streamline large cloud deployments—an often overlooked expertise that informs ITLook’s secure, high-speed automation.
