Senior🎓
Top SchoolKrystian Baclawski is a Staff System Engineer in Site Reliability Engineering at Google with 14 years of systems-focused software experience and a long track record bridging academia and production. He taught and researched operating systems, computer architecture and compiler construction at the University of Wrocław while contributing to experimental OS work (Mimiker) and mentoring generations of students in low-level programming. A Unix-philosophy devotee, FreeBSD user and demoscene coder, Krystian combines deep knowledge of CPU microarchitecture, kernel design and optimization with practical SRE skills in C, Go, Python and Bash. His career includes early compiler infrastructure work at Google and production systems engineering across networking, embedded and telecom domains, reflecting an unusual blend of research rigor and hands-on systems craftsmanship. Based in Wrocław, he’s known for low-level curiosity—down to cache and branch-prediction optimizations—and a playful side hinted by a GitHub quip: “My hovercraft is full of eels!”
