Vardan Mikayelyan is an R&D Principal Engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native platform components, currently driving VCF Operations at Broadcom to automate deployment, upgrades, and lifecycle management for private clouds at scale. He brings deep systems expertise from Linux kernel USB driver work and security-focused roles to modern Kubernetes and distributed infrastructure, and holds a Master’s in Engineering from the National Polytechnic University of Armenia. A Certified Kubernetes Application Developer, Vardan blends low-level C/C++ proficiency with higher-level Java and Python tooling to deliver secure, production-grade automation. He has a track record of cross-border collaboration—from kernel contributions upstream to multi-team projects at VMware and Synopsys—and experience shepherding security certification and vulnerability remediation for payment terminal platforms. Notably, his background spans both kernel internals and cloud control planes, giving him a rare perspective on bridging hardware-adjacent code and large-scale orchestration.
