Summary
Mayank K is a software architect with 10+ years building large-scale, cloud-native infrastructure and platform engineering at companies like Salesforce, Microsoft, and Cisco. He led architecture and product ownership for Salesforce’s Hyperforce managed Kubernetes and serverless platforms, founding the internal developer platform that powers deployments across hundreds of microservices and dozens of datacenters. Deeply experienced in distributed control planes, compute platforms and C++ systems, he has a track record of operationalizing Kubernetes at scale and driving reliability, automation and diagnostics across complex fleets. His background spans low-level systems engineering (kernel drivers, data replication, memory diagnostics) to cloud fabric and storage APIs, giving him rare end-to-end visibility into both hardware-adjacent and cloud services. Based in Roorkee with academic work in machine learning from Stanford, he blends practical production leadership with a continuous curiosity for tooling and platform design.
