Summary
Łukasz Swolkień is a senior engineering manager based in the Krakow metropolitan area with over 15 years of leadership experience and two decades of technical background, currently leading 10–20 engineers at Splunk to build multi-cloud, multitenant observability pipelines processing millions of data points per minute. He has a proven track record scaling cross-functional teams (up to 80+) and shipping core, highly-configurable cloud and big-data platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with hands-on experience in data ingestion, Airflow, Spark, Snowflake and real-time systems. His career spans large-scale modernization efforts—from mainframe offloads and real-time airport operations systems to ML-driven data products—demonstrating an ability to bridge legacy systems and modern cloud architectures. Colleagues know him for growing distributed teams across locations (Krakow, Dallas) and developing technical leaders while keeping a sharp focus on outcome-oriented delivery and regulatory/compliance constraints. He combines engineering depth from an M.Sc. in EE/CS with practical R&D collaboration with data scientists, enabling fast iteration from pattern discovery to automated action.
