Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMateusz Kossakowski is a software engineer based in Warsaw with eight years of experience building and leading R&D projects in programmable dataplanes and network processing. He has deep hands-on expertise with P4, Tofino, eBPF and systems tools (Open vSwitch, Docker, Kubernetes) and is fluent in C, C++, Python and Go. At Orange he progressed to project leadership driving P4-based research, and his open-source contributions include significant eBPF backend work for the widely used p4c compiler—adding packet parsing primitives and externs like checksums, hashes and meters. Currently at EXATEL, he blends low-level networking knowledge with cloud-native tooling to deliver pragmatic, production-ready solutions. An MSc graduate of Warsaw University of Technology, he pairs research-grade protocol understanding with practical delivery experience across telecom and enterprise systems.

Contributions summary:Mateusz primarily contributed to the eBPF backend of the P4 compiler. Their work involved adding and improving support for packet parsing, including the `packet_in.length()` and `packet_in.advance()` methods. They also added support for Checksum, CRC16/32, InternetChecksum, Hash and Meter externs, significantly expanding the eBPF backend's capabilities. This demonstrates a focus on extending the compiler's target support and improving its ability to generate code for network processing.
