He brings deep practical expertise in Golang, Kubernetes and Linux from roles at Kong, Sumo Logic and Intel, and has a track record of improving reliability, build systems and observability. Patryk is an active open-source contributor to prominent projects like OpenTelemetry Collector and Telegraf, where his work fixed data races, improved log translation and enhanced filelog and output plugins. He combines backend systems engineering with DevOps-level automation and CI/CD improvements, often modernizing tooling (shellcheck, yamllint, Terraform provider bundling). Comfortable in international teams thanks to studies across Poland, the UK and Serbia, he pairs rigorous quality focus with a flexible, inventive approach to developer processes. Notably, his kernel and driver experience at Intel gives him uncommon low-level insight that informs his cloud-native reliability work.
