Summary
Nithin Kankanti is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and developer tools, currently at Salesforce after a multi-year tenure at Oracle focused on managed Kubernetes (OKE) and OCI region automation. He has repeatedly shipped high-impact infrastructure features—on-demand node cycling, a Node Doctor diagnostic tool, and cluster add-ons—and helped cut OCI region buildout time from 150+ days to 37 through chaos testing and automation. His background blends academic research in serverless QoS at University of Colorado Boulder with hands-on product work optimizing costs and scale (e.g., replacing an ASR Flask stack with Celery to save significant cloud spend). Comfortable across Go, Python, and cloud platforms, he also has full lifecycle experience launching services, leading rollouts, and consulting post-Go-Live. An active Quoran and music lover, he stays current with algorithms, networking and emerging tech and welcomes technical dialogue and mentorship.
