Kalyana Gajapathi Raju Konduru is an AI Full Stack Technical Leader and Senior Software Engineering Advisor with 18+ years spent building mission-critical systems for healthcare, insurance, and financial services organizations. He specializes in turning legacy monoliths into resilient microservices ecosystems and, more recently, embedding generative AI, from Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to autonomous AI agents, directly into enterprise engineering workflows.
At Evernorth (Cigna), Kalyan leads the architecture behind pharmaceutical rebate and pricing platforms that process millions of transactions a day, work that has delivered over $200 million in documented business value. He's equally known for championing AI-assisted development across engineering teams, driving early, practical adoption of tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor long before they became industry standard.
Kalyan brings a rare combination to the stage: deep hands-on architecture experience (React, Spring Boot, Kafka, Oracle, MongoDB) paired with real-world lessons on scaling AI adoption inside large, risk-averse enterprises. His talks translate high-stakes, regulated-industry engineering into practical takeaways for teams navigating their own AI and microservices transformations.
An AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Cigna GenAI Technologist, Kalyan has led teams of up to 25 engineers through zero-downtime migrations and multi-million-dollar modernization efforts, and enjoys unpacking what actually works (and what doesn't) when rolling out AI at enterprise scale.
