Delyan Raychev is a software engineer and engineering leader with seven years of experience building and operating large-scale, cloud-native platforms for mission-critical financial and autonomous systems. He has led Kubernetes platform engineering at Intuit, founded and delivered Open Service Mesh at Microsoft (donated to CNCF), and pioneered backend services for autonomous vehicle mapping at Cruise. Comfortable as a manager of managers and a hands-on engineer, he blends product, architecture, and operational excellence to run heterogeneous Kubernetes fleets spanning CPU and GPU workloads. His open-source work includes taking Azure’s Application Gateway Ingress Controller to GA and modernizing its build and release tooling. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he channels a deep curiosity—reflected in persistent public writing and code-reading projects—into pragmatic, high-impact platform engineering.
