Summary
🤩
RockstarLuke Gorrie is a performance-focused systems engineer and serial founder with 24 years of experience building and optimizing high-throughput network and server software. He founded Snabb and Teclo, driving orders-of-magnitude packet-processing and TCP performance improvements that were upstreamed into major ecosystems, and now leads Permo to systematically map how hardware, configuration and versions affect throughput, latency and reliability. At Kong and Anthropic he applied large-scale benchmarking, statistical modelling and low-level tracing to turn noisy telemetry into actionable root causes, and his open-source contributions include impactful optimizations to the Yaws webserver. Comfortable from device drivers to production services, he combines pragmatic engineering with a research-grade focus on measurable performance gains. An interesting detail: his work helped popularize vhost-user style integrations across QEMU/Libvirt and influenced vendor stacks like Intel DPDK and Cisco VPP.
