Summary
👤
SeniorYuri Volchkov is a system software engineer with over 15 years of low-level programming experience and a decade of professional roles spanning embedded devices, cloud infrastructure, and kernel/hypervisor work. He spent time at AWS working on production Linux kernel development and contributed to OSv cloud OS tooling, demonstrating a comfort with both large-scale cloud systems and niche boot/build internals. His background includes shipping software for Smart TVs, microcontroller real-time apps, and AWS-grade infrastructure, giving him rare breadth from tiny RTOS constraints to hyperscale services. Skilled in end-to-end file system design and implementation, he pairs hands-on coding with documentation and production support. Based in Dresden, Germany, Yuri blends research-era rigor from NEC Labs with practical delivery at companies like NIO and ZEDEDA, and he often improves tooling and build processes that make complex systems more robust.
