Summary
Krishnakant Deshmukh is a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently driving product and platform work at Cohesity to simplify enterprise data management. An IIT Kharagpur-trained electrical engineer with M.Tech, he brings deep control-systems and robotics roots—having designed control boards and safety features for quad- and hexa-copters—to cloud-scale software problems. Proficient in C++, Python, ROS, and MATLAB, he blends research rigor from academic and R&D internships with hands-on systems engineering in production. Known for bridging low-level algorithmic thinking with pragmatic software delivery, he pair-programs well between embedded controls and large distributed systems. Based in Mumbai, he’s as comfortable prototyping flight-control firmware as iterating on data-protection services, and off-duty he’s a chocolate-loving fan of Itachi Uchiha.
