Summary
🤩
RockstarSerge Bazanski is a DevOps Tech Lead based in Munich with about 15 years of engineering experience and nearly a decade focused on reliability and automation for production systems. He architects and implements highly available backoffice services on Kubernetes at SymbioticEDA while freelancing on hardware security audits and trainings, blending hands-on ops with security research. Previously he built reliability for Google's archival storage team and led SDN edge appliance development and DC automation at CodiLime, bringing deep distributed-systems and networking experience. An active open-source contributor, he has improved FPGA tooling and embedded platforms — notably enhancing the nextpnr GUI with a modern OpenGL renderer and adding Versa ECP5/PicoRV32 support in litex — reflecting a rare combination of software, hardware, and UI competence. Known for striving to "replace himself with automation," he pairs pragmatic engineering with a hacker’s curiosity for hardware security.
