Summary
Vahid Sanei is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience blending cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and research-driven graph mining. Based in Seattle, he runs and secures CI/CD platforms using Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform and Helm while automating deployments with Bash, PowerShell and Python and migrating identity to AWS IAM and Azure Managed Identities. Concurrently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at Iowa State, his research focuses on scalable discovery of dense subgraphs and motifs (cliques, k-trusses, triangles, butterflies) in parallel and streaming settings—work that informs practical approaches to large-scale graph processing and system performance. He has production experience at Apple and an internship at Google, and coaches competitive programming teams, demonstrating an uncommon mix of academic rigor, hands-on cloud engineering, and algorithmic problem-solving.
