Sergei Starikov is a seasoned Staff SRE based in Berlin with 13 years in engineering and over seven years focused on DevOps and site reliability practices. He has led cloud and platform teams across fast-moving European companies—from Head of Cloud Infrastructure at Urban Sports Club to Staff SRE roles at Doctolib and On—designing resilient, scalable Kubernetes and GCP-powered systems. Sergei blends hands-on automation and performance tuning with people leadership, coaching engineers while driving infra best practices, incident readiness, and observability. His background spans CI/CD, Kafka, Helm, and large-scale performance optimization dating back to platform work in SugarCRM, giving him depth across legacy and cloud-native stacks. As a freelance advisor and ongoing cloud infrastructure consultant, he’s comfortable switching between strategic architecture and implementation details. Colleagues appreciate that he pairs pragmatic engineering discipline with a penchant for measurable operational improvements rather than theoretical designs.
