Senior🎓
Top SchoolHemanth Kini is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience designing, building, and scaling cloud-native systems with an emphasis on performance, security, and resiliency. Based in Los Angeles, he has driven SRE and observability work at Cisco Meraki and Coda and now focuses on securing the software supply chain at Socket using Typescript, Kubernetes, Terraform, and GCP. He combines hands-on backend and infrastructure skills with leadership experience—mentoring engineers, owning on-call rotations, and revamping hiring and cross-team processes. Comfortable across clouds and stacks (AWS, GCP, Docker, Prometheus/Grafana), he’s equally at home optimizing resource utilization for cost and reliability as he is instrumenting systems to detect problems before customers do. A former Stanford MS and Carnegie Mellon BS graduate, he also has a history of teaching and research that informs a thoughtful, systems-first approach to engineering.
