Hi, I'm Asser Ghorab
CTO-as-a-Service | Transformation, AI adoption and governance, strategic tech advisory | Automation Strategist
Helping Startups Scale Securely and Intelligently
About Me
I'm a DevOps architect and cloud systems strategist with 20+ years of experience leading engineering transformation at startups and global companies alike. After leadership roles at ZenHub and Philips, I now offer consulting and fractional CTO services to help teams scale with confidence.
At my core, I specialize in building reliable, scalable infrastructure — and ensuring it's secure by design. Over the years, I've seen the rise of DevOps, helped teams move to the cloud, and more recently, supported engineering leaders as they integrate smart automation and AI into their workflows.
My approach combines:
- Deep DevOps and cloud-native expertise (AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
- Systems thinking rooted in business context
- Embedded security practices across infrastructure
- Forward-looking insight into AI-powered ops and tooling
I don't just help teams catch up…I help them get ahead.
