Fabian Kramm is a CTO and co-founder with 11 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native developer tooling and Kubernetes platforms. He conceived and leads Loft Labs projects—including vcluster (the de facto standard for virtual Kubernetes clusters with millions of pulls and thousands of stars), DevSpace, DevPod and Kiosk—blending deep backend and DevOps expertise with product thinking. A full-stack developer at heart, he repeatedly ships infrastructure-level improvements (syncers, service account handling, deployment tooling and CI-ready build scripts) that make Kubernetes development faster and more reliable. His background ranges from enterprise consulting at sovanta and SAP to accelerator experience at UC Berkeley SkyDeck, giving him both large-enterprise and startup perspectives. Colleagues value that he pairs pragmatic implementation skills with an eye for developer ergonomics and scalable multi-tenancy.
