About Kartik K.
I’m a seasoned Kafka and Kubernetes Administrator with 11+ years in IT, specializing in designing, deploying, and managing Kafka clusters in production. I have deep experience deploying Kafka on Kubernetes using Helm charts and Operators, managing brokers, partitions, replication strategies, and ensuring high availability and fault tolerance across cloud and on-prem environments.I’m skilled at scaling Kafka on Kubernetes, configuring the Confluent Platform (including Kafka Connect, Schema Registry), setting up robust role-based access control (RBAC), and enforcing security standards like SSL and Kerberos. I have a strong track record in capacity planning, performance tuning, bottleneck troubleshooting, and automating deployments to deliver resilient, production-grade systems.I’m passionate about building scalable, secure, and efficient event-driven architectures and enjoy collaborating with teams to solve complex data streaming challenges.
