Fikret Karajic is a multidisciplinary founder and creative operator with a 20-year journey across software, real estate, branding, and urban development. With a lifelong passion for software tech, his deep backstory involves launching viral products as a teenager seeing over 150,000+ monthly actives long before he knew what a “startup” was. That early obsession with thoughtful, user-centered design now drives Karascope, his latest venture: a product studio pioneering experience-driven software built with purpose, intention, and emotional intelligence. Positioned as a creative counter to lifeless enterprise platforms and AI tools that automate away human nuance, Karascope develops software that feels intuitive, personal, and alive. Several of its first products are actively engineered to address real challenges in St. Louis—proving that impactful technology still begins with passionate founders, not algorithms or committees.

Beyond tech, Fikret helped scale Oliver Properties from the ground up—joining as its first team member and serving in multi-disciplinary roles across marketing, leasing, construction, operations, and investment strategy. A decade later, he played a key role in growing the firm to $200M+ in assets. Today, he serves a key role in the revitalization of the Wash Ave district in Downtown St. Louis, where he drives strategic investment efforts across multifamily, retail, and office to drive the development of a new, more connected Wash Ave urban neighborhood. Whether building products or places, his mission remains the same: to design systems, stories, and spaces that empower people—and leave a lasting mark on St. Louis.

Hi, I'm Volkan 👋,

As a software engineer with over two decades of experience, I've been deeply involved with the SPIFFE community, helping to expand its adoption across diverse systems.

I've had the privilege of leading the architecture for projects like SPIKE and VMware Secrets Manager, both built on SPIFFE identity principles.

My journey has taken me into fascinating territories, including active participation in the O-RAN Alliance's Security Focus Group (Working Group 11). I've collaborated with telecom operators worldwide to help integrate SPIFFE into O-RAN's identity management framework. This work has helped extend strong identity practices to the challenging edge environments of telecommunications networks.

I'm passionate about making complex security concepts accessible to everyone, which has led me to author articles, conduct live streams, and speak at various events. Good security should be understandable, implementable, and fun—that’s what I believe at heart.

When I'm not exploring new ways to implement zero-trust architectures or experimenting with concepts like human SPIFFE IDs, I'm supporting our community in the SPIFFE Slack channels or organizing onboarding events for newcomers.

Currently, I serve as Lead Principal Engineer at VMware Cloud Foundation, where I continue to advocate for identity-first security approaches in cloud-native environments.

I represent a new and innovative field in the most traditional subject in medicine: Clinical Anatomy. A science without narrow specialty restrictions, fully multidisciplinary. My aim is to bring anatomical knowledge into the context of diagnostic and therapeutic (surgical) application. To translate basic research into clinical application. To teach science and clinical approaches.

I have experience in translating MedTech into clinical applications—also as an entrepreneur.

Milestones of my activities:
* The establishment of a worldwide renowned surgical training centre with 12 complete OR-settings on 2500+ square meter. Annually more than 2500 surgeons from all surgical disciplines take part in more than 100 international training courses.
* The establishment of a platform to use human bodies for research and development in the field of medical technology in an environment that ethically complies with the recommendations of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). More than 140 MedTech companies, medical societies and medical academies use the opportunity to test and develop medical products and surgical approaches on donated bodies.
* Pioneer work in the field of digitalisation of academic teaching and CME-certified continued education. An operating room has been connected to a professional tv-studio. More than 50,000 students, physicians and medical professionals registered for the digital, non-profit, series Sectio chirurgica.
* The establishment of a research institute for translational cellular biology on tissue and cell systems from animal models and human specimen. Four task groups, led by experienced biologists, biochemists and medical doctors, work in the fields of microscopy, ultrastructural analysis, molecular biology, biocompatibility and toxicity analytics.
