Summary
Kunaal Sikka is a security-minded software leader and founder with nine years of experience building scalable cloud and data systems from startup to enterprise scale. As Co-founder & President of SubImage he’s focused on creating clear maps for complex cloud environments, drawing on deep operational security work shipped at Lyft and Anthropic. At Lyft he architected next-gen observability and vulnerability programs that materially reduced failures and risky access patterns, and at Anthropic he bootstrapped company-wide access controls during hypergrowth. He blends hands-on engineering—Fluentd, Apache Beam, SIEM, OAuth and large-scale data access controls—with cross-org program leadership and executive communication. Comfortable moving between code, infra and policy, he has a track record of turning noisy operational problems into auditable, automated systems. Based in San Francisco, he pairs entrepreneurial drive with a strong academic foundation from University of Washington (and study at ETH Zürich).
