He is currently the founder of RunWhen, a company pioneering the use of AI to automate workflows across Platform Engineering, DevOps and SRE. Kyle was previously the Sr Director for Kubernetes Advances Services at Google Cloud. He spent his earlier career in networking as the founder of Big Switch Networks (acquired by Arista) after starting his career at Cisco.
