Top SchoolUtku Özdemir is a Senior Software Engineer based in Potsdam, Germany with 18 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms and backend systems. He has led platform infrastructure teams building multi-tenant Kubernetes and Ceph-based clouds, driving architectural decisions across compute, storage and networking for large enterprise projects such as Daimler AG. Utku combines hands-on engineering (Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, Go, container runtimes, observability stacks) with people and process leadership—hiring, defining engineering practices, and documenting design decisions. His background spans full lifecycle work from low-level JVM and distributed filesystem solutions to modern container orchestration and secure multi-tenant deployments.
