Top SchoolBelinda Vennam is a Staff Engineering Manager at GitHub with 11 years of experience leading engineering teams building cloud-native developer experiences, currently shaping the Actions authoring and workflow management experience. She blends hands-on backend and DevOps work—contributing tracing and queue-proxy improvements to the prominent Knative Serving project—with senior management responsibilities, hiring and mentoring cross-functional teams. Her background at IBM spans product and platform leadership for Kubernetes, serverless, and mobile cloud services, where she drove support process improvements and faster time-to-resolution. Belinda is comfortable switching between code and strategy, having shipped async serverless components, spoken at KubeCon and ServerlessDays, and acted as a developer advocate.

A detail that sets her apart: she continues to contribute technically to open source while directing large teams, keeping one foot in the codebase.
