About me

👋 Hey there! I'm Md Imran—a passionate technologist, open-source advocate, and cloud-native enthusiast dedicated to driving innovation, collaboration, and excellence in the ever-evolving tech landscape. 🚀 Chances are, you’ve already used Razorpay, one of India’s leading payment gateways, during your shopping or food order without even realizing it! As an Engineering Manager, I lead a team responsible for managing the entire payment lifecycle. My focus is on building robust platform products, ensuring the gateway’s high availability and reliability, and driving innovation to create seamless, scalable payment solutions that empower businesses to grow. 🐳 Recognized as a Docker Captain, I’m also a strong supporter of containerization and have a deep love for Kubernetes, Golang, and distributed systems. Having co-founded and served as CTO at a previous startup, I bring a unique blend of hands-on technical expertise and leadership to the teams I work with. 🌱 Beyond my day-to-day work, I’m a dedicated Open-Source Advocate deeply committed to fostering collaboration and innovation within the global tech community. As a CNCF Maintainer and a key contributor/Maintainer to KubeSlice, I actively shape the future of open-source projects that simplify multi-cluster networking and empower developers to build resilient multi-cloud solutions. Whether it’s through mentoring aspiring engineers, speaking at industry events, or creating insightful technical content, I leverage my experience to drive awareness and adoption of cutting-edge technologies. My passion lies in sharing knowledge, advancing open collaboration, and enabling others to excel in their tech journeys. Let’s connect and talk about Kubernetes, Docker, Golang, open-source, or anything in between! 😊
