Summary
Graham Hares is a seasoned solutions architect with 11+ years focused on cloud-native, Kubernetes and enterprise open-source platforms across EMEA, currently supporting GSI partners at SUSE. He combines deep pre-sales technical expertise with hands-on demo and automation work—from Terraform/Ansible deployment pipelines to Go and Java sample apps for workflow orchestration—helping move PoCs into production. His career spans major vendors (Red Hat, Docker, Cloudera, Temporal) and includes building reusable deployment repos and lab platforms that accelerate customer adoption. Notably, he bridges low-level systems knowledge (Linux, storage, virtualization) with modern orchestration patterns, enabling complex hybrid and air-gapped deliveries. Based in Surrey Heath, he’s equally comfortable whiteboarding architecture with executives and producing the code that proves it works.
