Summary
Radhika Puthiyetath is a seasoned technical communicator with 11 years of experience crafting developer and ops-facing documentation for cloud-native and security products, now writing for OpenSearch at AWS in San Francisco. She has a deep open-source pedigree—longtime contributor and committer for Apache CloudStack and maintainer work on Falco—paired with hands-on experience documenting Kubernetes, etcd, and container security tooling. Her career spans product documentation operations, community management, and developer experience, having built documentation tooling and run content programs at Sysdig, CoreOS, Citrix, and AppDynamics. Trained in journalism and project management, she translates complex distributed-systems concepts into clear, actionable guides that empower engineers and operators.
