Summary
Shak Saleemi is a pragmatic full-stack developer and DevOps engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience delivering reliable systems while wearing many hats as an independent contributor and technical cofounder. Based in Los Angeles, he blends deep Linux/sysadmin roots with modern web and infrastructure tooling, and prefers a full-time Linux desktop workflow—often on ThinkPads. Since 2017 he’s run his own practice, moving between product development, operations, and startup formation, demonstrating an ability to scope and ship end-to-end solutions. Lifelong curiosity drives him to stay current across the stack and to favor practical, reusable tooling over one-off fixes.
