PyCon Hong Kong 2025

I’m Koti Vellanki — a DevOps engineer by practice and a community builder by passion. With over 6 years of experience working in cloud-native environments, I currently serve as a Senior DevOps Engineer at TransUnion, where I work on managing large-scale Kubernetes clusters, building CI/CD systems, and improving observability for production workloads.

While I enjoy solving technical challenges, what truly drives me is enabling others to grow through shared knowledge. Over the years, I’ve actively contributed to the tech community — speaking at Kubernetes Community Days (KCDs) and staying closely involved with meetups such as Collabnix, Kubernetes Bengaluru, Docker Bangalore, BangPypers, etc. I'm the Organizer for Open Source Meetups in Bengaluru which has around 2.6K members and also India Code Weekend which has more than 10K members.

I’ve also been a regular volunteer, organizer, and attendee at global Python conferences like PyCon India, PyCon US, EuroPython, PyCon APAC, PyCon JP, PyCon PH and PyCon HK. These experiences have shown me how valuable it is to have a space for local collaboration and learning.
