Zara Gebru is a Solution Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently at Snowflake in Zurich, focused on translating complex data and IoT challenges into scalable enterprise solutions. Her background spans automotive and mobility — from in-vehicle systems and OTA updates to real-time vehicle data pipelines and smart charging integrations for EVs. At Thoughtworks she led cross-functional teams, applied DORA-backed delivery practices, and modernized legacy C++ codebases using RAG-based AI techniques. She blends hands-on embedded and cloud engineering with data engineering and solution design, making her comfortable across edge devices, backend services, and analytics platforms. Zara holds postgraduate training in AI & Machine Learning from Caltech and often brings ML-informed approaches to systems design. An uncommon thread in her work is embedding sustainability and operational resilience into mobility solutions, not just feature delivery.
