Who is the author?

Gourish — Senior Software Engineer based in Bengaluru, India.

I work at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI/ML platform engineering. For the past few years I’ve been building at Avesha Systems, where my main focus has been KubeSlice — a multi-cluster Kubernetes networking platform that is now a CNCF Sandbox project. I led the open-sourcing effort and serve as an LFX Mentor for the project.

Alongside that, I’ve built EGS (Elastic GPU Service) — a platform that dynamically provisions GPU nodes for LLM inference workloads and monitors GPU utilisation across NVIDIA and AMD hardware. It’s the kind of infrastructure problem that sits at the edge of Kubernetes, cloud providers, and the fast-moving AI ecosystem, which is exactly where I like to spend my time.

Before Avesha, I was at Citrix R&D working on Web Application Firewall internals in C/C++ — which is where I built my foundation in systems programming, performance analysis, and distributed services at scale.

What I write about here:

  • Kubernetes internals — operators, controllers, multi-cluster networking
  • AI/ML infrastructure — GPU orchestration, LLM serving, MLOps pipelines
  • Open source — the CNCF ecosystem, what it actually takes to run a community project
  • C++ and Go — the languages I spend most of my time in, and the interesting corners of each

I started this blog writing about C++ multithreading and still enjoy that kind of low-level, first-principles content. Expect a mix: some posts go deep on architecture and code, others are more opinionated takes on how the industry is moving.
