Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarol Latecki is a Senior Member of Technical Staff with nine years of software and validation experience, currently driving infrastructure and cloud-focused engineering at Nutanix after multi-year roles at Intel. He combines deep hands-on testing and DevOps skills—spanning Linux, Python, C/C++, QA automation and system-level networking—with practical system architecture work evidenced by contributions to the high-profile SPDK project. Known for clear cross-functional communication and a can-do attitude, he often translates ambiguous requirements into reproducible tests and reliable tooling. Equally comfortable debugging kernel-level I/O interactions as authoring test automation, he brings proven experience tuning NVMe-oF and virtual host test suites for modern storage stacks. Based in Gdańsk, he pairs technical rigor from dual engineering degrees with a collaborative streak that helps onboard and mentor teammates.
