Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsha Girdhar is a software engineer with 9 years of experience building cloud-native observability and infrastructure platforms, currently shaping backend microservices at Cisco. She has designed scalable Kubernetes-native logging and observability stacks at Oracle (Verrazzano and Sauron) and built Go-based REST services for Cisco Intersight that scale to millions of endpoints. Her work spans the full lifecycle—from writing operators and CI/CD pipelines to participating in on-call rotations—demonstrating strong ownership of reliability and performance. She frequently mentors junior engineers, streamlines testing and deployment workflows, and has improved open-source operator compatibility to better integrate with enterprise platforms. Based in San Jose, she combines deep systems-level expertise (Go, Kubernetes, OCI, ELK/EFK) with a pragmatic focus on reducing MTTR and operational overhead. An under-appreciated strength is her track record of turning complex distributed observability requirements into modular, production-ready components that accelerate both developer productivity and customer adoption.
