Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRajath Agasthya is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and Kubernetes integrations, now focused on enabling NVIDIA GPUs on Kubernetes. His background spans platform work at Broadcom/VMware Tanzu and cluster lifecycle and OpenStack orchestration at Cisco, with deep hands-on Go expertise and production-grade controller development. Rajath is an active open-source contributor to prominent projects like kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime—adding client-side pagination and envtest improvements—and to VMware Tanzu Framework, where he shaped Capability APIs and Kubernetes custom resource plumbing. Based in Austin, he combines low-level systems thinking with pragmatic API design, and often tackles the less-glamorous but critical build, lint and deepcopy plumbing that keeps large cloud-native projects healthy.
