Viranch Patel — Software Engineer

Software Engineer at Confluent specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure, distributed storage systems, and scalable platform engineering. At Confluent, I build the Kubernetes platform that powers Confluent Cloud, a fleet of 4,000+ clusters across AWS, GCP, and Azure. My work focuses on designing systems that operate correctly across cloud providers at fleet scale, from storage subsystems and automated patching controllers to release infrastructure and compliance automation. Core Focus Areas: Multi-Cloud Infrastructure & Storage: Architected a secure NVMe data erasure system across AWS, GCP, and Azure, addressing multi-tenant data isolation at the storage layer. Designed and built solutions for fleet-wide storage scheduling, including cold-start scaling and cross-provider consistency. Kubernetes Controllers & Automation: Built a Kubernetes controller for safe, automated configuration rollouts across thousands of clusters. Created the team's emergency release process and tooling -- now the standard for production hotfixes across the organization. Platform Reliability & Infrastructure as Code: Designed infrastructure automation in Go and Terraform spanning 30+ repositories. Led SEV-1 incident response for a 62-cluster outage, driving root cause analysis and cross-team coordination with cloud providers. Previously at Morgan Stanley, where I optimized large-scale commodity trading systems (Java, Spring Boot) processing lakhs of trades daily, reducing a critical service's outages from ~10/day to near-zero. IIT Goa Alumni, Computer Science. I thrive in diverse and collaborative environments, always eager to connect with fellow engineers to discuss distributed systems, Kubernetes internals, and the evolving landscape of multi-cloud platform engineering.
