About Alex Rahimi

As a Senior member of technical staff at Fiserv, I focus on automating and modernizing global virtualization infrastructure, implementing tools like CyberArk, Venafi, Vault, Rundeck and Ansible to streamline operations and enhance security. I lead projects that improve efficiency, such as a container orchestration initiative projected to reduce server load by 20%, resulting in significant cost savings. Additionally, I advise technical leadership on datacenter optimization strategies, which have already reduced operational costs by 5%.Previously, at Verizon, I worked as a Solutions Architect, creating high-availability virtual environments using VMware, Linux, and 5G technologies. I led large-scale projects in extended reality (XR) and represented Verizon at major industry events like the Super Bowl and Mobile World Congress. My experience at Verizon laid the foundation for my current work in virtualization and automation, while expanding my leadership role in strategic infrastructure decisions.
