Tim Timrawi is the founder and CEO of Sharktech, a Las Vegas-based bare metal and cloud provider he launched in 2003. Over two decades, he has grown Sharktech into a global infrastructure company with data centers in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and Amsterdam. The company pioneered always-on DDoS protection and has since expanded its portfolio to include Private and Public OpenStack-based cloud, object storage, backup & DR, application containers, and CDN solutions.
Timrawi has led Sharktech’s transformation beyond traditional hosting by building a cloud ecosystem designed to rival hyperscale providers while delivering greater transparency and flexibility for SMBs, enterprises, and MSPs. His focus on customer-driven innovation—such as a usage-based cloud applications platform with integrated CI/CD and security tooling— has established Sharktech as a reliable, developer-friendly alternative in a crowded market.
Alongside his business leadership, Timrawi is also an avid astrophotographer, with work featured by leading optics companies and astronomy publications. This passion for detail and exploration mirrors the curiosity and precision he brings to technology and infrastructure.
Through Sharktech, he continues to champion resilient, cost-eUective infrastructure while investing in community initiatives, such as a nonprofit Internet exchange in Las Vegas, to expand access and strengthen the region’s digital backbone.
