Hi, I’m Saif. I build frontend products and improve how teams work.
I’m a Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat. I joined StackRox in 2015 as its eighth employee and first UI engineer, then stayed with the product through its acquisition and open-source release. I’ve led projects, started initiatives, shared what I’m learning about AI, and brought teammates together.
My path

Built a new React product from near zero with three backend engineers. It became the main product and replaced the legacy platform.
2016–2020
Helped the product and UI team grow
Worked across the platform, helped hire and onboard UI engineers, and helped establish frontend conventions.
Red Hat acquired StackRox
StackRox became the foundation of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security.
The platform became open source
The codebase I helped build went public at github.com/stackrox/stackrox.
