Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPiotr Gankiewicz is a founder and CTO with 13 years of experience building high-performance, real-time systems and distributed infrastructure, currently leading LaserData and the Apache Iggy project. He’s the original creator and an Apache Iggy committer/PPMC member, having designed a Rust-based persistent message streaming platform that handles millions of messages per second and supports QUIC, TCP, WebSocket and HTTP transports. His background spans founding startups, DevOps and systems architecture, and hands-on engineering—from cryptography work in the Nethermind Ethereum client to .NET microservices and low-latency trading systems. Piotr blends product-minded leadership with low-level systems craft, often implementing build and deployment automation, cross-platform tweaks, and protocol work himself. Based in Krakow, he champions open source and has donated Iggy to the Apache ecosystem to foster community-driven innovation in streaming for AI workloads. An interesting detail: he moves fluidly between Rust and long-standing .NET expertise, proving rare full-stack fluency across languages and infrastructure layers.
