Summary
Paweł Piątkowski is a Lead Systems Engineer and bioinformatician with 10+ years of experience designing cloud-native infrastructures and production genomic analysis pipelines for industry and research. He builds end-to-end stacks—from Kubernetes operators for Cromwell/Nextflow to secure, large-scale cloud HPC environments—and has migrated and optimized platforms for Fortune 500 life science teams. Equally comfortable in R, Go, Python and bash, he pairs hands-on programming with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and mentoring of Tier-2 support. Notably, he authored open-source operators (e.g., a Nextflow K8s operator) and restructured legacy DSL1 Nextflow pipelines into modular DSL2 workflows to improve parallelism and cloud readiness. Based in Poland, he blends academic rigor (PhD-level bioinformatics) with pragmatic engineering that moves genomics workflows from prototype to production.
