Top SchoolArjun Naik is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 13 years of experience building cloud-native backends, SRE tooling, and Android apps. He blends hands-on backend work in Go and Python with DevOps expertise around Kubernetes and AWS, having contributed production-grade improvements to high-profile projects like the Kubernetes autoscaler, Skipper, and Zalando’s Kubernetes tooling. With a Master’s in Distributed Systems from TU Dresden, he focuses on reliable, observable distributed systems—implementing features like memory‑saver pod tracking and autoscaler recommender/updater fixes.
