Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGregory Giguashvili is a seasoned engineering leader with over 20 years of experience building and shipping complex software across on-premise and cloud environments, now leading OpenShift Edge and MicroShift initiatives at Red Hat. He blends hands-on systems and DevOps expertise—Linux/Windows internals, CI/CD, cloud lift-and-shift strategies for 2D/3D graphical and HPC workloads—with a track record of creating producible, documented solutions and cross-functional teams. Gregory has driven productization of MicroShift to GA, contributed to OpenShift release tooling and edge-optimized MicroShift build pipelines, and routinely partners with telco and ecosystem engineering to solve edge-scale challenges. Pragmatic and iterative, he can bootstrap projects solo or lead distributed agile teams through design, pilot, implementation and handover. Based in Israel with an M.Sc. in Computer Science, he is as comfortable tuning AWS/Azure infrastructure as he is embedding custom RPMs and ISO builders into automated edge deployment workflows.
