Milos Gajdos is a pragmatic engineering leader and systems-focused software engineer with 13 years of experience building reliable back-end and infrastructure software. He’s shipped core networking, storage, and registry features at scale—most recently leading technical work on Docker Hub’s registry and earlier as a founding engineer at Micro where he contributed to the microservices platform. A prolific open-source contributor, Milos has deep kernel-level networking and Go expertise demonstrated by substantive work on projects like libcontainer/netlink, distribution’s S3 driver, and the micro platform. His background spans SRE, systems engineering, and applied machine learning/computer vision, blending low-level Linux networking with higher-level API and storage optimizations. Trained in Technical Cybernetics with supplemental deep learning study, he brings a control-theory mindset to performance tuning and reliability engineering. Notably, he pairs production-grade DevOps experience with hands-on contributions to well-known repos, showing comfort across the full stack from netlink to cloud registry.
