Summary
Kashyap Jotwani is a Senior Engineering Manager based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building large-scale test automation, backend and frontend tooling for both cloud and on-prem platforms. He has led teams at Splunk and now Palo Alto Networks, pioneering cloud-agnostic testing frameworks that enabled "write once, test anywhere" workflows and brought automated triaging to hundreds of thousands of tests. Technically hands-on, he has authored Jenkins integrations, streaming testing frameworks, and deployment-agnostic validation systems that scaled to petabyte-class streaming products. His background blends core product development in C++/Java with extensive Python automation, CI/CD and infra automation (Docker, AWS, OpenStack, Ansible). Known for turning manual release processes into automated, measurable pipelines, he also has research roots from CMU in gesture-recognition AI, reflecting a mix of applied research and production engineering.
