Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolElad Iwanir is a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 15 years of experience building cloud-native systems, currently leading a hands-on team at Microsoft that developed a high-scale data collection pipeline for XSPM. He combines product-minded engineering (from Figma-driven ideation to GA-compliant delivery) with deep expertise in DevOps, IaC and secure enterprise architecture. Previously he partnered with healthcare customers to design Azure-based Trusted Research Environments and contributed significant backend and Terraform work to well-known open-source projects like AzureTRE, Presidio and the Microsoft FHIR server. A pragmatic engineer-manager, he moves between full-stack contributions—UI import/export features in bot analytics dashboards—to low-level database and search enhancements, showing rare versatility across frontend, backend and infra. He founded monitoring and engineering-excellence initiatives inside Microsoft products and has a track record of taking features from prototype to widely adopted GA services. Based in Israel, Elad holds an MSc in Computer Science and brings a customer-centric, code-first approach to complex, compliance-sensitive systems.
