Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVivek Koppuru is a software development manager at AWS with a track record of building and shipping cloud-native infrastructure, focused especially on EKS and Kubernetes-based solutions. Over eight years at AWS he progressed from intern to manager, contributing deep backend and DevOps expertise to projects like EKS Anywhere and EKS Distro where he helped implement cluster initialization, secure cipher integration, and robust build/release pipelines. He combines hands-on coding—particularly around CAPI, vSphere integrations, and automation of image and release workflows—with team leadership and delivery ownership. Based in the Bay Area, Vivek excels at turning prototype concepts into production-ready services that run on customers’ own infrastructure. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and detail-oriented, equally comfortable debugging cluster-level issues or streamlining CI/CD. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from UC San Diego and brings a practical open-source mindset to enterprise-scale cloud products.
