Hi, I'm Morteza Bashsiz.
Infrastructure Engineer · Linux & Cloud · Open-Source Developer · Entrepreneur
I'm an infrastructure engineer and entrepreneur based in Germany, with experience designing, operating, and scaling large-scale Linux and cloud infrastructure.
I've worked across telecom, gaming, and cloud service providers, building and running infrastructure that spans thousands of bare-metal servers and petabytes of storage, with complex, isolated networking environments.
I've always been fascinated by how things work under the hood. For me, infrastructure is more than keeping servers running — it's about understanding complex systems, questioning existing approaches, and finding elegant solutions to difficult problems.
Engineering Is How I Think
I have a particular interest in Linux, networking, storage, and large-scale systems. I enjoy working close to the underlying technology, where performance, reliability, and thoughtful design really matter.
I'm a big believer in simplicity, but not the kind that comes from ignoring complexity. I believe good engineering means understanding complexity well enough to hide it behind clean, dependable platforms.
That philosophy shapes how I work: solving complex infrastructure problems, leading technical teams, and turning fragile systems into stable, observable, and scalable platforms.
From Engineering to Entrepreneurship
Over time, my interests have expanded beyond engineering itself.
I enjoy the entire journey of turning an idea into a real product: identifying a problem, designing a solution, making technical decisions, understanding business constraints, and figuring out how to deliver something people will actually want to use.
That's why I founded Sudoer, an IT infrastructure and storage company in Germany.
My Approach
I'm naturally curious, analytical, and detail-oriented. I like challenging assumptions, exploring alternatives, and understanding the reasoning behind technical decisions.
I value independence, transparency, and the freedom to experiment. I'm not particularly interested in following trends simply because they're popular. I'd rather understand the underlying technology and decide for myself whether it solves a meaningful problem.
I also believe that learning never really stops in our profession. Technologies change, tools evolve, and yesterday's best practices are constantly being challenged.
That's part of what makes engineering so interesting to me.
Beyond Technology
Although technology plays a major role in my life, I don't see myself as someone who only runs systems.
I'm interested in entrepreneurship, business strategy, and the broader impact of technology on everyday life. I enjoy exploring new ideas, experimenting with emerging tools, and thinking about how small improvements can lead to meaningful changes.
I appreciate practical solutions, thoughtful conversations, a good sense of humor, and people who aren't afraid to question conventional wisdom.
What Drives Me
I don't believe that complexity is a measure of sophistication, or that adding more moving parts necessarily means building something better.
What motivates me is the challenge of creating something that works well, makes sense, and provides real value.
Whether I'm designing infrastructure, exploring AI technologies, or building a business, my goal is essentially the same:
Understand the problem deeply. Build something meaningful. Keep improving it.
And, most importantly, never stop being curious.
