Top SchoolEzra Kesten is a seasoned software engineering leader with over 20 years of experience and more than 15 years in senior management, currently serving as VP of Research and Development at Shippiz. He has a strong track record of building and scaling cross-functional teams to deliver cloud-native, customer-facing SaaS, CPaaS, and media platforms used by large enterprises. Deeply experienced with Kubernetes, AWS, observability, CI/CD, and distributed systems (Java, Python, Go, Kafka, MongoDB, Redis, Temporal), he combines hands-on technical judgment with strategic product and operational leadership. Ezra is known for turning visionary concepts into production-grade architectures and releaseable products quickly, having led launches and platform transformations at Tata Communications, Cisco, Kaltura, and others. He pairs technical depth with business rigor—an Executive MBA and university lecturing experience underscore his emphasis on mentoring, process improvement, and measurable outcomes. A practical polymath, he often bridges low-level systems thinking (cryptography and embedded ports early in his career) with modern cloud engineering to solve complex reliability and scale challenges.
