Summary
Kobi Hikri is a founder and hands-on software architect with nine years of focused experience designing scalable, production-grade systems and modernizing legacy platforms. He specializes in breaking down monoliths, building microservices and data pipelines using Kafka, Cassandra, MQTT and cloud-native tooling, and has repeatedly delivered quick-to-market, CI/CD-driven solutions on Azure and GCP. As a consultant he has led architecture for IoT and HIPAA/FDA-regulated projects that process large volumes of data, and has a strong emphasis on DevOps automation and GitOps practices to reduce operational overhead. A natural mentor and collaborator, he pairs practical, runnable code with clear ramp-up plans to help teams adopt new architectures and practices. Creative and optimistic, he favors simple, elegant architectures that scale, and is currently channeling that philosophy into his startup, khassis. An early career background spanning embedded/voice systems to big-data analytics gives him uncommon breadth across infrastructure, cloud and application domains.
