Delyan Raychev
Hi! 👋 I am Delyan Raychev. I am a Software Engineer and an Engineering Leader in the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in building and leading teams that develop large-scale, mission-critical systems & platforms for financial SaaS products.
Currently I am the Head of Kubernetes Platform Software Engineering at Intuit where my passions intersect: I am building and leading effective, high-performing teams as well as engineering large scale systems and infrastructure for critical financial SaaS products.
Some of the most recent proud moments of my career:
- Successfully led Intuit's Cloud Native platform through unprecedented growth with exceptional operational excellence while simultaneously developing and releasing a brand new Kubernetes abstraction. The success in both platform operation and product development demonstrated my capacity to manage complex large-scale systems and multiple teams delivering tremendous value and efficiencies for the platform underpinning the vast majority of Intuit's operations.
- Founded, built, took to general availability, and operated Open Service Mesh at Microsoft Azure. OSM was the first native service mesh on Azure Kubernetes Service and was donated the CNCF.
- Pioneered backend services for autonomous vehicle mapping and training at Cruise Automation, blending my passion for distributed reactive systems, advanced Machine Learning, AV simulation software, and cloud infrastructures.
I find inspiration and derive energy from collaboration with like-minded and driven teammates. I am influenced by luminaries like Mozart, Dijkstra, and Knuth.
