Marcin Mikosik is a senior software engineer with 13 years of professional experience and a track record of founding and shipping developer tooling and hardware projects. He built and open-sourced the Smooth build tool—covering a functional DSL, compiler and VM with aggressive caching—and led its development for several years before joining JetBrains. His background spans system-level C++ work at Google and embedded middleware, to Android apps, WebRTC, and NLP backend refactors, showing strong full-stack and tooling instincts. He has repeatedly turned research and prototypes into production-ready systems, from a 3D-printed digital slide scanner with ML-based cell classification to large-scale data migrations and API integrations. Based in Poland with an M.Sc. in Computer Science, he blends deep engineering craft with entrepreneurial initiative and a preference for elegant, well-tested solutions. A detail not immediately obvious: he designs languages and virtual machines as comfortably as user-facing mobile features, reflecting a rare mix of low-level systems and product-focused development.
