Kacper Michalik is a software engineer focused on high-performance computing and systems with four years of hands-on experience building research-grade tooling and production-oriented system components. He has implemented low-level backends and VMM libraries for MirageOS on seL4, written Linux drivers for zero-copy inter-VM comms, and produced system templates and docs for Raspberry Pi deployment. At Cambridge he designed and built a distributed web-scraping and high-performance PDF processing pipeline for automated grey literature discovery, combining systems engineering with ML-informed URL classification. His open-source work includes front-end and UI contributions to a privacy-minded p2p chat built on Tor and IPFS, demonstrating full-stack curiosity from kernels to user-facing features. Based in Northampton and trained at Cambridge, he brings an unusual blend of systems-level rigor and practical UI/UX polish to scientific and privacy-focused applications.
