Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBartosz Rybacki is an R&D scientist and molecular biotechnologist with a decade of interdisciplinary experience bridging lab science, aerospace biology, and cloud-native software engineering. Currently pursuing a PhD while working in R&D at BLIRT S.A. and contributing to space biology projects (including an internship at NASA Ames), he designs and executes experiments for stratospheric and microgravity research. Unusually for a life-sciences researcher, he actively contributes to major open-source cloud projects—helping maintain KubeVirt and Containerized Data Importer and improving robustness in the Trino query engine—bringing DevOps and backend rigor to scientific tooling. He combines hands-on biotech skills with systems thinking in build pipelines, dependency management and distributed systems, making him adept at translating complex experimental workflows into reproducible, production-ready pipelines. Based in the Gdańsk area, he also volunteers in rocketry and space biotech communities, reflecting a practical passion for turning ambitious aerospace research into operational reality.
