Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolManohar Boddu is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native, serverless and Kubernetes-based systems from Germany. He has led platform and storage initiatives—most recently driving zone-aware multi-cluster CSI provisioning—and has hands-on experience optimizing storage nodes and CI/CD for large open-source projects like the Kubernetes CSI SMB driver. His background spans event-driven serverless architectures on AWS, high-availability telemetry and migration work, and performance-focused database and deployment optimizations. Manohar blends deep systems-level engineering (kernel/VM work from GSoC) with pragmatic DevOps practices, having reduced deployment times dramatically and implemented end-to-end testing pipelines using GitHub Actions. He is comfortable operating at the intersection of infrastructure, storage and developer experience, and often surfaces non-obvious gains by automating tests and moving cold data to cheaper tablespaces.
