Łukasz Sowa is a seasoned software entrepreneur and Managing Partner who co-founded Iterators in 2013 and brings 15 years of hands‑on experience building distributed, web, mobile and enterprise systems. A Scala Ambassador and fervent functional-programming advocate, he combines pragmatic engineering—illustrated by contributions like an Akka‑HTTP microservice for geolocation and IP distance calculation—with deep systems chops from earlier low‑latency and Linux-centric projects. He advises and leads technology strategy at high-growth ventures (currently CTO at Obi and supervisory board member at Virbe), marrying fast iterative delivery with scalable architecture. Equally at home in PostgreSQL query design, kernel‑level optimizations, or modern cloud patterns, he has a rare mix of product intuition and low‑level technical depth.
