As the VP of Product and Interim VP of Engineering at Tailscale, he focuses on making secure connectivity simple to adopt. Before Tailscale, he helped shift Kong to a cloud-first platform and led product for Kubernetes at VMware and Heptio. Ross turns complex distributed systems into approachable infrastructure without hiding the engineering reality. His talks often cover practical network design, exploring how teams can safely build human-sized private networks using identity-based routing and least-privilege defaults instead of struggling with legacy VPNs. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2026 Europe 路 July 8, 2026 Berlin, Germany - [Small, Secure, Interconnected: The next Internet Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100062-small-secure-interconnected-the-next-internet-protocol) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording - [Fighting the Next Wave of Cybercrime](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100331-fighting-the-next-wave-of-cybercrime) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ## Videos - [Fighting the Next Wave of Cybercrime](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100331-fighting-the-next-wave-of-cybercrime) 路 Michele Zuccala, Misha Bragin, Ross Kukulinski, Frank Schlesinger, Tomislav Tipuri膰 - [Small, Secure, Interconnected: The next Internet Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100062-small-secure-interconnected-the-next-internet-protocol) 路 Ross Kukulinski ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kukulinski/)
