Hey there! I am Nikhita Raghunath and I dabble in distributed systems and open source.

I work as a Staff Software Engineer at VMware. I am a core contributor to Kubernetes, on the Kubernetes Steering Committee and the technical lead for SIG Contributor Experience. I am also a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassador and run the GSoC and Outreachy internship programs for CNCF/Kubernetes.

In the past, I have worked as software engineer at a startup called Loodse. Prior to Loodse, I was an intern at Red Hat and a Google Summer of Code (2017) student with CNCF. You can know more about my GSoC work here.

In all of these roles, I worked extensively on Kubernetes (yes, you can probably see a common theme here!).

You can find me at the following places but the most reliable way to reach me is to send an email.

                       

For all the security geeks out there, my public key is B944F27A57CF61F5.
