Vyacheslav Sarzhan

Engineering leader with 10+ years of experience building high-performing remote teams and delivering scalable, production-grade solutions. Over the past 7 years, I’ve led and grown distributed engineering groups, fostering a culture of ownership, clarity, and continuous improvement.

For the last 4 years, I’ve overseen the architecture and development of Percona’s Kubernetes engineering efforts, leading the teams behind the PSMDB, PXC, PostgreSQL, and MySQL Kubernetes operators. These open source solutions are recognized for their reliability, scalability, and impact across cloud and on-prem environments.

My strengths include building engineering teams from the ground up, driving operational maturity, and aligning technical strategy with business goals. I’m passionate about culture-driven growth, developing future leaders, and leveraging open source strategy to accelerate innovation and adoption.
