Harsha Kanna

I’m a Product Leader with 18+ years of experience building API platforms, cloud infrastructure, and developer ecosystems that operate at enterprise scale.Across Microsoft, Salesforce, Equinix, and Walmart, I’ve focused on solving complex platform problems at the intersection of APIs, observability, and intelligent systems. My work is centered on defining how systems scale — not just building features, but shaping platform strategy, consistency, and reliability across teams.⸻What I specialize in:Scaling platform adoption→ Grew Azure Storage usage by launching ingestion products and building a partner ecosystem, unlocking $500M+ revenue potentialBuilding foundational platforms→ Led development of IAM platform at Equinix enabling secure, scalable access across Network Edge and FabricBuilding API platforms & design systems→ Led API design tooling initiatives in Salesforce Integration Cloud, defining standards and enabling consistent API development across teamsDriving API ecosystems & developer platforms→ Delivered platform capabilities that improved API adoption, consistency, and developer experience across enterprise integrationsEvolving platform intelligence (current focus)→ Leading API governance and reliability initiatives, connecting design-time, runtime, and support signals to improve platform quality at scale⸻I’m particularly interested in building next-generation platform systems where governance is driven by real-world signals rather than static rules — enabling teams to move faster while maintaining consistency and reliability. service, doubling CSAT and accelerating product launches.Driving innovation → multiplied Salesforce API adoption 5x in 2 years through developer-first tooling.Improving reliability → at Walmart, I am building observability and auto-heal platforms that reduce incident noise by 90%.Beyond my enterprise career, I explore AI-powered applications in sports technology. Recently, I launched an AI Table Tennis Coach app that analyzes player video to deliver personalized feedback — honing my ability to apply emerging technology to improve user lives.I am passionate about simplifying complexity for enterprise customers — whether enabling developers with powerful APIs, creating observability platforms for runtime systems, or leveraging AI to drive operational resilience.
