People who have seen the problem firsthand

David spent nearly a decade building and running platform infrastructure at high-growth technology companies before co-founding KernelRun. He has seen the cost visibility problem at three different scales — startup, mid-size, and late-stage — and built KernelRun to solve it at all three. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon.

Marcus built the first version of KernelRun's scheduling engine as a side project while leading infrastructure at a Series C fintech. He is responsible for product architecture and the engineering team. His background is distributed systems, with particular depth in resource orchestration and billing data pipelines.

Priya joined KernelRun as the first product hire after six years in product roles at developer tooling companies. She drives the product roadmap and works directly with customer teams to make sure what we build matches what engineering organizations actually need — not just what looks good in demos.
