Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChirag Jog is a seasoned technology founder and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building cloud-native platforms, DevOps tooling, and scalable product engineering teams. He co-founded and served as CTO of two startups—Clogeny and Velotio—that were both acquired, and now leads AI Platform Engineering and Innovation at R Systems following Velotio’s acquisition by a Blackstone portfolio company. Deeply hands-on, he has contributed to notable open-source projects in the Ruby and Chef ecosystems—adding Windows bootstrapping, WinRM support, and cloud provisioning enhancements—demonstrating expertise across backend, DevOps and cloud automation. Based in Pune, he combines startup grit with enterprise delivery, having also worked on next-gen storage and real-time Linux early in his career. Less obvious: he moves fluidly between low-level systems work (kernel, embedded boot) and high-level platform strategy, making him rare as both a systems engineer and product-focused CTO.
