Jakub Korab is a technical leader and solutions architect with 14 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise event-streaming and integration platforms, currently shaping Confluent’s advisory practice from Bristol. He helps organisations align Kafka-based data streaming to business goals, codifying adoption patterns into the Confluent Adoption Framework and co-authoring practical guidance for production deployments. Comfortable both as a hands-on developer (contributing Apache Camel test cases and integration patterns) and as a manager, he has led regional professional services teams and high‑visibility consulting engagements across EMEA. His background as an independent consultant sharpened client-facing skills—proposal, negotiation and cross-border delivery—while his current advisory role focuses on people, process and technology for streaming at scale. Outside of industry work he serves as a School Governor, bringing governance and financial oversight experience to educational strategy. That blend of deep integration expertise, practical open-source contribution, and governance experience makes him a pragmatic builder of production-grade streaming organisations.
