Arkadii Chumachenko
Keeping the chaos
on a leash.
I’m Arkadii “rkd” Chumachenko. I make Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems behave themselves—occasionally even before they wake someone up at 3 a.m.
About my work
I design and operate the platforms behind the “it just works” illusion: deployments, networking, data infrastructure, and observability.
My work spans Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and identity. The goal is simple: fewer mysteries in production, and fewer heroic midnight fixes.
