My name is Adel Zaalouk, a free-style researcher who cares more about knowledge than titles and I currently work as Product Manager with a technical focus on all things Cloud, AI, and Kubernetes, I am also one of the Cloud Native AI working group technical leads.

Throughout my career I wore different hats, in different countries working with different people from a broad spectrum of nationalities. Initially, I started in research with a strong focus on Software-Defined Networking (back in the buzz days), and moved slowly to the industry side, covering / advocating for software-defined concepts across the entire stack.

Nowadays, I work mostly with cloud, control-planes, and AI, paving my way through the AI stack with a researchy attitude. I love tinkering around with new tech, and sharing my learnings. I share my learnings either in the form of blog-posts, publications, talks, or in meet-ups where I get to meet and learn from awesome minded people in the community. These days, I muse alot at “The Technomist”, a new newsletter I started with the hope of briding the gap between tech and business mindsets.

I also like to organize meetups, so I started quite a few. Truth to be told, some are not active anymore but dear to my heart to shut-down (maybe there is a future to them?).

Below you can find some references and pointers to some of my work.
