Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFiras Zaidan is a seasoned software leader and product-focused engineering manager with 13 years of experience building and modernizing web- and cloud-based systems. He combines hands-on technical chops—DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, Docker, AWS, Stripe payments and migrations—with leadership roles from co-founder/CEO to team lead and project manager. Firas has led complex legacy-to-cloud migrations, high-availability deployments, and subscription/paywall integrations for publishing platforms while also delivering data reprocessing and ADAS-related projects in automotive contexts. Comfortable across languages and stacks (including experience with Erlang, Haskell, Elm and Ruby), he brings a pragmatic full-stack perspective to product development and operations. Based in Essen, Germany, he pairs entrepreneurial instincts from running Cerody with public-sector leadership at Hessische Zentrale für Datenverarbeitung. A detail-oriented tinkerer, he often bridges gaps between research-proof prototypes and production-grade systems, especially where messy legacy data must be rescued and monetized.
