About Graphium Labs

  • Nisan Haramati

    Nisan Haramati

    CTO
    Nisan turns complex ideas into systems that are fast, scalable, and importantly, make sense. With a deep focus on search, data, and infrastructure, he’s the reason things don’t just sound good in theory, but actually work in practice.

    He cares about clean architecture, precise thinking, and building technology people can trust. No unnecessary complexity, no black boxes for the sake of it.

    Somewhere between engineer and translator, he bridges the gap between vision and execution and makes it look easier than it is.

  • Saem Ghani

    Saem Ghani

    CEO
    Saem has been building software for nearly two decades, with a particular obsession for distributed systems, correctness, and fault tolerance; the kind of work where things either really work, or really don’t.

    Over time, his focus expanded from systems to the people behind them. Whether leading engineering teams or co-founding and organizing communities (Polyglot Vancouver, DevOps Days Vancouver), he’s built a reputation for creating environments where thoughtful, high-quality work can actually happen.

    He brings a steady hand to complexity, a low tolerance for brittle systems, and a belief that great technology is always a reflection of the teams behind it.

  • Katelyn Eng

    Katelyn Eng

    COO
    Katelyn is the reason things don’t just move - they move well. An expert in executive function, she has an uncanny ability to zoom in, zoom out, and somehow see around corners before the rest of us realize there’s a turn coming.

    She turns ambiguity into action, complexity into clarity, and ideas into momentum. Whether it’s operations, strategy, or the thousand invisible details in between, she keeps everything aligned and moving forward.

    Part operator, part strategist, part force of nature — she makes the hard things feel organized, and the impossible things feel surprisingly doable.

Mission

A self-directed research lab structured as a solvent business. Our product is innovation.

  1. Intellectual Curiosity: This lab is only as good as the curiosity with which we approach the world, our work, and each other. In the earnest pursuit of progress, question assumptions to see where things no longer hold.

  2. Disciplined and Systematic: Early and continuous validation through measurement is how we approach research. So start with measurement, end with measurement, measure throughout, be sure to question the measurements and then measure more. 

  3. Integrity: A self-sustaining research lab is only possible if people trust our findings and process enough to fund or buy them. They’re looking to build upon what we’ve pioneered, that necessitates trust. Hold yourselves and each other accountable, ensuring we keep with the spirit embodied within all our values.

  4. Courage: Be brave, during uncertainty, to put out an incomplete idea, admit that you don’t know, share a negative result, to have conviction in the trajectory and acceptance when something isn’t working. Be unafraid of asking challenging questions of yourself, and others. 

  5. Be Good: Internally, make Graphium Labs a great place for everyone to do their best work. Externally, weapons, mass surveillance, and the like, are not our areas of research.
