Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Kawajiri is a Production Engineer with 14 years' experience building and operating high-performance systems across embedded Linux, cloud services, and data pipelines. A long-time C, Python and UNIX enthusiast, he blends low-level expertise (kernel, bootloader and hardware work on projects like Facebook's OpenBMC) with cloud-native production experience at Facebook and Chaordic, using Go, Python and AWS for scalable data collection. He has led teams to design resilient, monitored systems (Prometheus, OpsGenie) and values reproducible builds, extensive testing and pragmatic performance tuning. Marco's background in embedded security research and Android BSP work gives him a rare ability to trace problems from silicon to service, and he enjoys nitty-gritty optimizations—from malloc strategies to avoiding branch mispredictions. Based in Ireland, he’s an active open-source contributor who brings both systems-level rigor and product-focused delivery to production engineering challenges.
