Keerthan Reddy is a cloud-native software engineer with 11 years of experience building and migrating container orchestration platforms, currently at AWS after a multi-year tenure at PayPal. He led re-architecting PayPal’s Genesis platform from Mesos to Kubernetes, developed Kubernetes CRD support and a custom CNI for software load balancers, and has hands-on DevOps experience with Docker, Kubernetes and Mesos. Earlier work at Deis and contributions to the upstream Kubernetes kubelet—improving resource reclamation, sandbox cleanup, and unit tests—reflect a strong open-source orientation and deep systems-level troubleshooting. He combines a solid academic foundation (NIT Warangal and a high-GPA MS from Stony Brook) with production-grade backend and database skills in Go, Python, Java and Oracle PL/SQL. Notably, he bridges product-facing feature development with low-level runtime reliability improvements that reduce operational toil.
