Cheol Kang is a Site Reliability Engineer with a decade of software experience, specializing in cloud-native backend systems and large-scale Kubernetes/Istio migrations. He has led cross-team efforts to containerize legacy workflows, cut boot times by 80%, and optimize image builds and topology-aware deployments to reduce cross-AZ traffic. His work spans operating global services across 10+ regions, crafting zero-downtime DB migrations using blue-green patterns and automating scale-out with Kafka, Prometheus, and KEDA. Comfortable bridging software engineering and SRE, he pairs hands-on optimizations (LLD image tuning, circuit breakers, graceful shutdowns) with operational design for multi-region reliability. Based in Seoul with a BS in Engineering Physics, he brings a blend of systems-level thinking and practical automation that consistently improves performance and deployability.
