Michal Kielbowicz is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, performance-sensitive systems across cloud, GIS, and large-scale infrastructure. He’s contributed to flagship open-source Kubernetes test and perf tooling and helped optimize massive GKE deployments at Google, bringing deep DevOps and performance engineering chops. At Waymo he spanned the full stack to add payment integrations and design fraud-detection systems, and he now applies functional-programming rigor at Sourcegraph with Scala and Haskell. Michal is analytical and efficiency-minded—he’s reduced map preprocessing from weeks to days and cut integration costs dramatically by automating metadata syncs—while preferring code and collaboration over meetings. Based in Lower Silesia, Poland, he combines a strong academic grounding in computer science with a background in psychology that informs his team-first approach to engineering.
