Shivam (anirudh) Nandy

Shivam (anirudh) Nandy

Hey, I’m Shivam a theoretical physicist who somehow ended up deep in the world of tech, startups, and cloud-native systems. I co-organize CNCF Kolkata and Grafana and Friends Kolkata, and I’m also part of the CNCF TAG for Developer Experience, where I contribute to improving how developers build and ship software.

I’ve always been obsessed with what’s happening under the hood from low-level systems and kernel-level programming to how distributed infra runs at scale. I absolutely love working with Rust and Go, and you’ll usually find me tinkering with Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and open-source tools. That’s my happy place.

I am part of a company that’s currently incubated at T-Hub Hyderabad, and we’ve been fortunate to be supported by the Department of Science and Technology (Delhi), AWS Startups, the NVIDIA Inception Program, and we’re also proud to be Meta Business Partners for our product wisemelon.ai, which is helping businesses rethink how they use AI bots.

More than anything, I care about showing young engineers especially students just entering college what real-world engineering actually looks like. There’s so much more than just writing code on a laptop. Systems, scale, and building things that people actually use that’s where the fun begins.
