Ronak leads LinkedIn’s compute platform team. He spearheaded the company’s transition to Kubernetes, taking it from an initial proposal to the compute substrate powering the majority of LinkedIn’s workloads.

Today, he is building its next generation: a multi-cluster-native platform that runs both stateless and stateful workloads and brings AI agents into how critical infrastructure is built and operated.

Outside his day job, Ronak previously co-hosted Software Misadventures, a podcast about not just technology, but the people and stories behind it.
