👋 Hello! I’m Sambhav, an engineer who loves building tools that make developers’ lives easier. By day, I lead an AI team at Bloomberg, and by night, I’m an open source enthusiast who enjoys contributing to cloud-native projects.

What I Do
#

When I’m not architecting AI platforms at Bloomberg, you’ll find me deep in the world of open source. I believe in the power of collaborative development and have been fortunate to contribute to projects that help developers build and deploy applications more efficiently.

I focus on building tools and infrastructure that improve developer productivity, particularly in the cloud-native and ML space. This spans across container build systems, Kubernetes tooling, and ML infrastructure.

Open Source Journey

Current Projects
#

Cloud Native Build Tools
#

  • Cloud Native Buildpacks - Core maintainer helping evolve the CNB specification and tooling
  • kpack - Maintainer of this Kubernetes-native container build service

Python Ecosystem
#

  • Cruft - Core maintainer of this project template management tool
  • CloudCoil - Creator of this modern, async-first Kubernetes client with elegant Pythonic syntax and full type safety
  • Hera - Core maintainer of this Python SDK for Argo Workflows

Past Projects
#

  • Kyverno (2021-2022) - Helped build this Kubernetes policy engine as a maintainer
  • Picard (2017-2018) - Led development of this cross-platform music tagger
  • pydocstyle - Maintainer of Python docstring style checker and formatter

Professional Work

At Bloomberg, I lead the AI Productivity group where we:

  • Build and scale ML platforms for model lifecycle management
  • Develop GenAI infrastructure and MLOps solutions
  • Create tools that help teams accelerate their AI development workflows
  • Bridge the gap between infrastructure teams and ML practitioners

Technical Focus
#

I’m particularly interested in:

  • Cloud Native Technologies
  • ML Infrastructure & MLOps
  • Developer Productivity Tools
  • Kubernetes Ecosystem
  • Python Development
