Sergey Tsalkov is a seasoned founder and software engineer with 15 years of professional experience building and operating internet businesses from Santa Monica. He has repeatedly combined hands-on engineering with entrepreneurship, founding and running hosting platforms like ArkServers.io and ChunkHost while earlier building ML-backed e-discovery tooling as Founder & CTO of Dagger Data. His background spans infrastructure, VPS and game-server hosting, and production machine learning workflows—skills that keep him equally comfortable with systems-level ops and applied data science. Self-employed since 2010, he deliberately builds lifestyle companies that sustain his income while letting him keep coding and shipping products. A Harvey Mudd Computer Science graduate who also studied legal topics, he brings a pragmatic blend of technical depth and an appreciation for regulated, document-heavy domains. He’s the kind of engineer-founder who prefers shipping reliable services over hype, with a track record of building niche, revenue-generating platforms.
