Senior🎓
Top SchoolViktor Sadovnikov is a Cloud Native Architect and Certified Kubernetes Administrator with nearly 30 years of software development experience and a Master’s in Computer Science, currently shaping platform strategy at the European Patent Office. He has a strong track record building and automating Kubernetes platforms across on-prem, AKS and GCP, creating reusable Helm libraries, Jenkins shared libraries and GitHub workflows to standardize CI/CD for large organizations. Viktor combines deep theoretical knowledge with hands-on engineering—he still prefers “hands dirty” work—helping teams adopt observability, service mesh, and automated provisioning. His earlier career spans enterprise integration, J2EE modernization and CI/CD transformations, and he’s contributed pragmatic backend refinements to notable open-source projects like jcabi-github. Colleagues value his analytical problem-solving, out-of-the-box thinking and focus on improving both code and development processes.
