Senior🎓
Top SchoolVeerash Ayyagari is a Principal Engineer with 20+ years of experience building and operating large-scale, production-first systems across Microsoft, Truveta, and NetApp, plus a successful AI platform exit. He specializes in turning ambiguous, hard-to-operate problems into robust, launch-ready architectures—owning projects from design through on-call—and now leads 0-to-1 AI and cloud-native initiatives across AWS, Azure, GCP and hybrid environments. Veerash’s practical thesis—that agents become colleagues only after months of investing in codebase-specific context, observability, and feedback loops—shaped Microsoft’s Frontier Firm strategy and the Digital Ops Worker autonomous troubleshooting agent. He’s shipped early enterprise-grade AI infrastructure (custom Kubernetes Operators, OpenTelemetry LLM observability, in-cluster PII redaction) and contributes to notable open-source projects like Fluent UI and LLMSharp Tokenisers. Based in Redmond, he advises founders and engineering teams on AI adoption and reliability, bringing lessons learned from systems he’s built, broken, and fixed in production.
