Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZac Herman is a senior software engineer and security-focused leader with 10+ years building cloud-native UIs and backend services, currently shaping the OpenShift console and SaaS management at Red Hat. He combines deep hands-on experience across front-end React work, backend data import services for Kubernetes (including contributions to kubevirt's containerized-data-importer), and large-scale security analytics platforms from his IBM tenure. Zac pairs technical craft with business acumen from an MBA, enabling pragmatic architecture, automation, and cost-saving consolidations that drove measurable operational improvements. A natural mentor, he led complex migrations (Angular to React) and designs accessible, data-rich applications while still shipping low-level automation and storage integrations. He’s equally comfortable prototyping emerging tech for R&D and hardening production security and storage workflows for enterprise OpenShift.
