Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMotiejus Jakštys is an experienced systems and infrastructure engineer with 11 years building low-level, production-grade platforms for companies from startups to Uber and Palo Alto Networks. He led and grew Uber’s Ring0 first responder team, maintained key distributed systems like ringpop-go, and famously bootstrapped Uber’s infrastructure on arm64—work he documented in technical posts and a public resume. Today he consults and advises teams onboarding to AArch64, offering both strategic guidance and hands-on implementation rooted in OS, kernel, and deployment experience. His background spans cloud services (AWS WorkMail), observability and infra roles (Chronosphere, Wix), and embedded-style optimization for large fleets. Based in Vilnius, he combines formal computing science training with a master’s in cartography, a detail that hints at a methodical, systems-oriented approach to complex problems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who tames daemons in peer-to-peer fog while translating deep platform knowledge into practical, production-ready solutions.
