Summary
Patryk Kowalczyk is a pragmatic DevOps Engineer with 11 years of experience building and automating resilient infrastructure across finance and telecom at firms like HSBC, Nokia, UBS and Credit Suisse. He combines deep Unix/Linux expertise (including Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX) with strong automation skills in Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform and CI/CD pipelines to deliver platform-agnostic solutions. His background spans cloud and virtualization technologies—Azure, OpenStack, KVM, VMware, Xen and Solaris LDOMs—plus hands-on database and replication knowledge (MySQL/MariaDB Galera, Oracle, PostgreSQL). Patryk is equally fluent in networking, routing and security tooling, often owning complex integrations involving LDAP/AD, Kerberos and SSO across hybrid environments. He brings a history of scripting and systems programming (Perl, C/C++, TCL) and a curiosity for embedded Linux and smarthome RTOS projects that informs his pragmatic, low-level troubleshooting. Based in Wroclaw, he’s known for turning legacy heterogeneous estates into automated, auditable platforms that scale.
