• I’m Steve Rastall, CEO and co-founder of ScalerPi, a U.K.-based company redefining what’s possible at the edge of the cloud and IOT.
• We help organisations and enterprise innovators — build, deploy, and manage secure, scalable Raspberry Pi-based edge systems. And have a passion for the overlap of the tech with space and low orbit.
• Our mission is simple:
• 👉 Make edge computing accessible
• 👉 Deliver Fully design, build and managed Pi projects now and ongoing
• 👉 Support a global community of builders and makers
• With a background in custom software engineering and cloud management, I’ve spent over 20 years leading teams that bridge complex technologies and real-world outcomes. Before founding ScalerPi, I built and scaled IG CloudOps, a managed cloud and DevOps company supporting SaaS businesses running on AWS and Azure. Prior to that I built a successful Microsoft partner business and prior a mobile inspections app.
• That experience — helping fast-growth teams automate, scale, and control costs in the cloud — now powers our approach at ScalerPi: combining enterprise-grade DevOps practices with affordable, open-source and tuned hardware as default.
• We run our own community labs, donate devices for education and good causes, and work hands-on with clients in manufacturing, energy, transport, and smart infrastructure to deliver rugged, resilient edge solutions.And creating portable Pi private cloud that plug and play in a box.
• I’m passionate about practical innovation — where real engineering meets creativity — and about sharing that journey through talks, podcasts, and collaborations with technologists and founders across the U.K. and beyond.
