Spain
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPiotr Modrzyk is a seasoned software gardener and systems engineer with over two decades immersed in software and a decade of focused professional experience building resilient distributed storage and infrastructure. He co-founded [aleph].engineering to run an international software house, led community-driven development of the open-source LizardFS distributed file system, and has driven performance and developer productivity improvements at ResearchGate. Comfortable across operations, DevOps, and engineering leadership, he has a track record of reducing latency at scale, designing HA cloud stacks, and evangelizing storage solutions for exascale needs. Based in Poland, Piotr blends hands-on troubleshooting (network tuning, HDFS/HBase, MongoDB, Solr, HAProxy) with team-building and product-minded roles from CTO to cofounder. A notable, less obvious strength is his history of improving developer feedback loops dramatically—turning 30s refresh waits into sub-second responses—showing a focus on developer experience as a lever for engineering velocity.
