Nikhil Amraotkar — Product Manager

As a seasoned Technical Product Evangelist with over a decade of experience in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and network performance testing, I specialize in helping customers validate, scale, and secure their systems across hybrid and distributed environments. At Keysight (Ixia), I serve as the Subject Matter Expert for Layer 4–7 and cloud security solutions (BreakingPoint, IxLoad, CyPerf, ThreatSimulator), leading global PoCs, technical demos, and performance testing—often simulating millions of API calls per day across HPC clusters, AI firewalls, and cloud-native platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). 🔹 Technical Product Leadership: I work closely with product managers and engineering teams to shape roadmap features, author technical collateral, and guide customer feedback into actionable improvements. 🔹 Cloud & Security Expertise: Proficient in automating test workflows with Python and REST APIs, deploying and troubleshooting in Kubernetes, OpenStack, and VMware environments, and configuring security policies across Palo Alto Networks and Juniper firewalls. 🔹 Customer-Focused Evangelism: I lead on-site engagements, replicate complex customer scenarios in lab environments, and deliver training, whitepapers, videos, and competitive benchmarks to support pre- and post-sales efforts. Whether it's leading performance validation on HPC infrastructure or helping customers adopt Zero Trust architectures, I bring a hands-on, customer-first mindset with a strong foundation in scalable, secure system design. Let’s connect if you’re building high-performance platforms, security solutions, or need an engineer who can bridge the gap between product and customer success.
