Suresh Raju

Tech, jazz, photography, travel, wine and animals.

San Francisco Bay Area

I build and run infrastructure at scale, distributed systems, the kind of plumbing that has to work at 3 AM. Over the past twenty-five years I've done this across America, Europe, and Asia for companies ranging from early-stage to large enterprise.

Outside of work I listen to jazz, make pictures and travel when I can.

Currently doing platform engineering at Cloudera. Previously at Mux, Optimizely, Reltio, and Oracle.

I produce under the name mediumcoffee — mostly ambient, electronic, and jazz-influenced. The set below is from the last few years.

I start in the middle of a sentence and move both directions at once.
