About Azeem

I have over 10 years of engineering experience, and 15 years of management experience, managing large distributed teams across geographically diverse locations in Europe and the USA. My primary expertise is with Java Virtual Machine (JVM) teams at Oracle, Amazon, Twitter, and Apple. Additionally, I've worked with teams on operating systems design, Kubernetes, and other platform infrastructure-related areas. I'm a past contributor to the development of the Sun/Oracle HotSpot JVM compiler while working at Sun and AMD. In addition, I have submitted and granted US Patents for code generation, virtualization, and graphics acceleration of code.

How I work

My role within a team is to provide a safe place for each member to do their best work. Every voice should be heard, and feel comfortable being their best self. Conflicts are welcome but healthy, focusing on the task at hand. When things go poorly, there is no blame, only paths forward.

What I like to do

I'm passionate about the outdoors and will often be hiking in and around the Bay Area. My vacations include hikes, including a recent, incredibly desolate hike in Iceland with no soul for as far as I could see. I'm also a fan of reading and often read classic Sci-Fi novels on my Kindle.
