Shyam Krishnaswamy is an engineering leader with over 20 years of hands-on experience building systems from device drivers and kernel routing state machines to cloud-native CNAPP products and programmatic ad exchanges. He co-founded and served as CTO of Deepfence, pioneering open-source CSPM work and taking the product to market before joining Google as an Engineering Leader. At LiveReach Media he drove a proof-of-concept into a data-driven, IoT-enabled digital out-of-home exchange that delivered near real-time audience metrics for programmatic buying. His background spans embedded systems, networking, security and big-data analytics, enabling him to bridge low-level engineering with product and go-to-market execution. Known for moving quickly from prototype to viable product, he combines technical depth (IISc, NIT Tiruchirappalli) with startup grit and a history of both leadership and individual contributor impact. Based in India, he favors pragmatic open approaches that scale across infrastructure, security, and real-time analytics.
