Donna Malayeri is an experienced product leader and developer advocate with 16 years building cloud and developer-facing products, currently based in Redmond, WA. She has led serverless and container initiatives at Microsoft, Google, and Pulumi, launching Cloud Run for Anthos and driving Azure Functions from private beta to GA. A hands-on engineer by training (PhD/MS from Carnegie Mellon), she contributes to open source—work on the Scala IDE and Pulumi examples/docs shows she blends deep technical edits with developer UX and docs. Donna excels at bridging OSS communities and large vendors, having served on the Knative steering committee and helped restore contributor trust during a crisis. She pairs public speaking and evangelism with product craft, often turning conference feedback into measurable product improvements. An uncommon strength is her ability to own end-to-end experiences—from low-level IDE features to cloud sync clients—while staying fluent in languages from F# and Scala to modern cloud SDKs.
