Top SchoolVinay Kapalavai is a software engineer with nine years of experience focused on cloud computing and systems, currently working at NetApp after roles across Red Hat and Mass Open Cloud. He specializes in Golang and Python and has shipped cloud-native features like Windows container support for OpenShift, a Windows node installer for Azure/AWS, and integrations between OpenStack telemetry and messaging frameworks. His background spans infrastructure automation (Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack), container tooling (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes), and multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, OpenStack), plus practical monitoring solutions deployed at scale. A Northeastern master's graduate, he pairs research experience—deploying Monasca and prototyping elastic HPC with Watcher—with production engineering, and has contributed upstream to OpenStack telemetry projects.
