Jakub Piasecki is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 15+ years building backend-first platforms and applications for enterprise, startup and institutional clients across the US, UK and Europe. He combines hands-on implementation (Java/Kotlin/Groovy, Ruby, Kafka, Flink) with end-to-end ownership from requirements and architecture to deployment and maintenance, including security and compliance for legal and financial domains. Jakub has led engineering practices and hiring, introduced cross-project tech strategy, and delivered diverse systems—from real-time RFID tracking and logistics microservices to mobile banking and solar billing platforms. He is an active contributor to high-performance open-source projects (e.g., adding MKLDNN/BF16 kernels to PaddlePaddle), reflecting a focus on performance optimization for compute-intensive workloads. Based in Warsaw, he pairs deep systems and data-streaming expertise with a knack for translating domain-specific needs (bioinformatics visualisations, carbon-footprint analytics) into production-ready solutions.
