Senior Developer and Cloud Software Engineer at TekNest

FELLOW MEMBER
Sanjeev Kumar Pellikoduku is an enterprise technology leader whose career has been shaped by a clear thesis: well-architected platforms—built with security, automation, interoperability, and developer experience at the core—can fundamentally reshape how industries collaborate and innovate. Over more than 23 years in enterprise technology, Sanjeev Kumar has delivered cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and AI-enabled systems that underpin large-scale digital initiatives, particularly within the energy sector.
His technical foundation spans cloud-native architecture across Azure and Google Cloud Platform, microservices engineering using Golang, Java, C#, and TypeScript, Kubernetes orchestration, and infrastructure automation using Terraform and Ansible. This expertise is reinforced by advanced certifications, including Azure Solutions Architect, Google Cloud Professional Architect, Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert, and Terraform Certified Associate. Across programs, he is consistently positioned where engineering decisions have compounding effects: designing resilient delivery systems, implementing CI/CD and GitOps practices, integrating observability and cost controls, and enabling production-ready adoption of modern AI capabilities.
At SLB, Sanjeev Kumar contributed to platforms that represent strategic industry infrastructure. His work on Lumi™, SLB’s data and AI platform positioned for AI-driven decision-making across the energy value chain, included deploying microservices on Azure, implementing CI/CD across environments, enabling LLM solutions, and embedding security compliance controls using tools such as SonarQube and WhiteSource. SLB publicly positions Lumi as a platform integrating advanced AI—including generative AI—into workflows.
On the OSDU Data Platform, a cross-industry initiative focused on standardizing and enabling access to subsurface data, his contributions included developing and deploying data ecosystem services and integrating APIs across multi-cloud environments. The OSDU Forum publicly documents its Outstanding Contribution Awards (including Technical Excellence recognition programs), supporting the ecosystem-level relevance of this work.
Sanjeev Kumar also supported analytics and developer ecosystem initiatives—such as integrating tools like Spotfire into enterprise environments, enabling Kubernetes migrations using Docker/Helm, implementing GitOps with ArgoCD, and delivering observability and system metrics dashboards (Prometheus/Grafana and cost instrumentation). His work on developer enablement through SLB’s developer portal and subsurface tooling emphasized platform usability: documentation, API versioning, authentication/authorization integration, performance optimization, and customizable dashboards that support broad developer adoption. SLB positions its Delfi platform and developer ecosystem as an open, scalable, secure environment designed to accelerate innovation.
Earlier roles across global enterprises—including broadcast technology, financial services, and information services—round out a profile defined by durable engineering fundamentals, full-lifecycle execution, and repeatable delivery under constraints.
