Summary
Puneet Pruthi is a Senior Software Engineer based in Redmond with over a decade of hands-on experience building and operating cloud and container infrastructure at scale. He has led infrastructure initiatives at Microsoft and Lyft—bootstrapping AKS deployments for Azure Time Series Insights and designing an orchestration platform that manages resources for 1000+ services while eliminating revenue-impacting incidents. Deeply versed in OS and kernel-level work from his Oracle days, Puneet blends systems-level expertise (C, kernel internals) with modern cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, Go, Python). He’s known for pragmatic platform-building—reducing Lyft’s hosting costs and CPU usage significantly—and for shipping production-grade automation like k8srotator and cluster tooling. Comfortable both as an IC and manager, he pairs technical leadership with operational rigor and strong documentation/runbook discipline.
