Top SchoolMurali Reddy is a Distinguished Engineer with 14+ years building and shipping complex system software across cloud computing, SDN/NFV, virtualization and Kubernetes-based networking. He combines hands-on engineering with product-level architecture, founding Cloudnative Labs to simplify Kubernetes networking and contributing to well-known projects like kube-router, Weave Net, and Apache CloudStack. His work spans both greenfield v1 products and production hardening—implementing features from BGP external IP advertisement to policy-based routing and inline CLI improvements. At companies from Microsoft and Citrix to Weaveworks, Rakuten Symphony and Walmart, he has led platform-level efforts that bridge kernel-level networking and cloud-native orchestration. Known for systems thinking and original solutions, he frequently surfaces pragmatic fixes (e.g., test/e2e stabilization, IPAM and netfilter integrations) that improve reliability at scale. Based in Andhra Pradesh with an ME in CS from IISc, he blends deep research-driven problem solving with operational pragmatism.
