Summary
Hariharan Gandhi is a Product Owner and development expert with 11 years of experience designing, operating, and productizing large-scale logging platforms at SAP, focused on managed logging for Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry and VM-based environments. He combines hands-on technical leadership—running and scaling Elasticsearch/OpenSearch clusters, building Kubernetes operators and WebSocket ingestion pipelines—with product ownership for multi-tenant cloud logging services. His background spans cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, BOSH, Kyma, Concourse), Golang engineering, and earlier research in distributed partitioning and geospatial big-data at IBM, which informs his systems-level approach to performance and data locality. Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, he bridges engineering and product strategy to deliver resilient, multi-tenant observability platforms and has a track record of turning operational complexity into managed services. Notably, he has progressed from developer and architect roles into product ownership while continuing to ship core platform components and operators.
