Filip Hanik is a Sr. Staff Engineer with 21+ years building high-performance, scalable server and security systems for enterprises and startups, currently helping transform how Fortune 500s develop software at Broadcom after a long tenure at VMware/Pivotal. A core Apache Tomcat committer and contributor to Spring Security and Spring Native, he combines deep systems-level expertise (networking, NIO, threading, native-image optimizations) with DevOps fluency—evidenced by CI, build and dependency modernization work across widely used OSS projects. He excels at identity, SAML/LDAP integrations and runtime hardening, and has driven production-grade features like tc Server, tomcat-jdbc and session replication used in large-scale platforms. An entrepreneur at heart and former combat medic and military officer, he brings disciplined leadership, resilience and a collaborative, values-driven approach to engineering. He pairs an EMBA and formal CS training with a record of shipping under budget and minimal supervision, and still prefers hands-on problem solving over meetings. Notably, his last formal hiring event was in 2006—he’s advanced through mergers and acquisitions while continuously evolving his impact.
