Marcin Juszkiewicz is a Senior Software Engineer and AArch64 build specialist with 22 years of experience building cross-platform systems, CI infrastructure, and production-ready containers for OpenStack and Arm servers. Long rooted in embedded build systems (OpenEmbedded/Yocto) and distributions, he now focuses on virtualization and OpenStack support for AArch64 as part of Red Hat’s ARM team and Linaro assignments. A prolific open-source contributor and core developer on projects like Kolla, Nova and BitBake, he’s implemented architecture-specific builds, improved CI/test automation, and fixed low-level virtualization and UEFI issues for Arm. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic build engineering—packaging, fetchers, and container tooling—while he quietly prefers to stay put in his current role rather than entertain recruiters.
