Omar Ramadan
Summary
👤
SeniorOmar Ramadan is a wireless systems entrepreneur and engineer with 13 years of experience building cellular and satellite connectivity solutions for hard-to-reach communities. As Co-Founder and CEO/CTO of Blockcast in Berkeley, he combines systems engineering with product strategy to deliver high-bitrate, cost- and energy-efficient broadcast distribution for CDNs and ISPs. Previously he led efforts at Facebook to design and scale community-operated cellular networks and was a co-author and contributor to Magma, the open-source cloud cellular core used in Tier‑1 deployments. His hands-on background spans embedded and backend work—from eNodeB ACS features and device data models to end-to-end network service orchestration. Omar’s work blends practical open-source contributions with startup-scale commercialization, and he brings uncommon domain depth in deploying real-world wireless infrastructure. He holds an M.Eng and Honors B.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley, pairing academic rigor with field-proven systems delivery.
