Vishesh Paliwal
Software engineer. Bengaluru.
I work on observability at Kong. Before this I worked on multi-agent systems at Lemnisca and on developer infrastructure at Rocketium. I study computer science at Scaler School of Technology.
now
Working on request-response evolution — how API request and response shapes drift across services over time, and what to do with that signal. Spending the rest of my time learning the Druid query path and reading Kubernetes internals.
