Evgeny Korolev (Evgeny K.)
Infrastructure Engineer · Founder of GeoCables
Evgeny Korolev, writing here as Evgeny K., is based in Israel. Infrastructure engineer with a background in network monitoring, DevOps, and routing analysis. Built GeoCables to answer a question that kept nagging for years: when a submarine cable goes down, how does traffic actually reroute - and can we see it happening in real time? Runs a private network of measurement probes across underrepresented regions worldwide.
