Before Temporal, I worked on Compute Infrastructure (Borg) in Google Cloud. My introduction to compute was through being a Product Line Manager at VMware. I helped ship the first iteration of vSphere with Tanzu, which embedded a Kubernetes control plane into the hypervisor. I also launched the Virtual Machine Service, a Kubernetes operator for deploying VMs.

I started my career as a software engineer and product manager at various SaaS startups. I got my bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology and an MBA from UCLA Anderson.
