Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPavel Mores is a senior software engineer based in Brno with over 6 years of focused experience in virtualization, networking and game/graphics systems, currently contributing to libvirt at Red Hat. He combines deep systems-level expertise—demonstrated by significant contributions to the high-profile Kata Containers project, including QEMU integration, hotplug support and SEV-SNP work—with a long history of building low-level networking stacks and real-time game engines. Pavel’s background spans everything from multiplayer reliable-UDP transports on consoles to AI navigation and runtime streaming meshes in AAA engines, reflecting a rare blend of performance optimization and cross-platform pragmatism. He’s shipped consumer-facing software (Inner Garden with 1M+ downloads) and enterprise-grade virtualization features, and often operates at the intersection of architecture and hands-on implementation. Colleagues know him for tackling hard infrastructure problems end-to-end: design, low-level code, profiling and deployment.
