Summary
Sukumar Yethadka is a hands-on senior software engineering manager based in Berlin with 14 years of experience building and operating large-scale, cost-conscious cloud and Kubernetes platforms. He has led Kubernetes platform migrations and SRE initiatives at Careem and now heads the ACS team for Red Hat in Europe, focusing on container lifecycle security. His background spans real-time analytics and high-throughput backends—scaling systems by an order of magnitude at GameAnalytics and delivering sub-10ms game backends at Wooga—while driving measurable cost and reliability wins. Sukumar combines deep systems engineering (Erlang, Go, AWS, Terraform, Vault) with people leadership, workshops, and product roadmapping, and has a track record of inventing automation (operators, tools) that saved teams hundreds of hours. An MS in Computer Science from Uppsala and a history of HIPAA-compliant and security-focused platform work underline his aptitude for building robust, compliant cloud-native solutions.
