Portrait of Hrittik Roy, Platform Advocate at vCluster Labs

About Hrittik Roy — CNCF Ambassador & Platform Advocate

Building Communities. Driving Product Growth.


I help engineering teams and open source communities get more out of your product through demos, documentation, talks, and deep dives into AI Infrastructure, developer workflows, and platform engineering. The goal is always the same: take something complex and make it click.


I write, speak, and build in this space.


How I Work

Deeply embedded with engineering and platform teams, focusing on clarity, adoption, and impact.

  • Turning complex platform concepts into simple, teachable narratives
  • Pairing demos and real workloads with theory and best practices
  • Working closely with maintainers, contributors, and users
  • Prioritizing documentation, workshops, and reusable learning assets
  • Connecting product, engineering, and community teams

Currently in Focus

  • Kubernetes platforms & developer experience
  • AI infrastructure for serving and Inference
  • MLOps and the fundamentals of Machine Learning
  • Open source advocacy, education, and community growth

Outside Work

Travel keeps me curious, long walks clear my head, and writing helps me slow down. When I'm not working, you'll probably find me figuring a new hobby or exploring a new city.

Current comfort loop: Driving, Swimming and understanding the depth of protein synthesis.
