Summary
Sajjad Gerami is a founder and seasoned DevOps engineer with 14 years of experience building and scaling infrastructure for high-growth startups, including leading HA, load balancing, Kubernetes, and OpenStack Swift efforts that helped services reach million-user scale. He blends hands-on systems engineering with developer experience—having started as a Java, C++, Python and Go developer—and has built infrastructure teams focused on SRE, performance, networking, and security.
