Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMykola Lysenko is a seasoned Linux kernel engineering leader currently managing kernel-focused teams at Anthropic after growing and running BPF and Memory Management teams at Meta. He combines deep systems and kernel development experience—from GPU driver and compiler work at AMD to scaling EC2 infrastructure at AWS—with strong people and program management skills, having expanded teams significantly while delivering production-critical kernel features. His work spans upstream open-source development and large-scale production support, driving adoption of compiler optimizations (PGO, LTO) and efficiency projects that save petabytes of memory and CPU across fleets. He is particularly focused on advancing BPF capabilities (tracing, networking, scheduling, security) and operational developer experience, while also pushing improvements in HugePages, cgroups, Zswap, CXL and KSM. Fluent in cross-architecture kernel maintenance and performance optimization, he brings practical experience shipping kernel features that operate on millions of machines. Based in Canada with a Master’s in Computer Science from Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, he is actively recruiting Linux kernel engineers with scheduling expertise.
