Piotr Obrzut is a Principal Software Release Engineer based in Warsaw with a decade of experience specializing in build, release and automation engineering across games and database ecosystems. He has driven release engineering at Autodesk and MySQL (Oracle), and earlier supported large studios like CD Projekt Red, Microsoft and Sony, blending rigorous CI/CD practices with platform-specific build tooling. Piotr’s hands-on work on high-profile open-source MySQL projects includes maintaining Docker images and enhancing MSI installers for Connector/C++, showing deep expertise in containerization, installer automation and cross-platform packaging. He is comfortable operating at the intersection of devops, systems programming and release management—turning complex multi-architecture requirements into reproducible builds. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky build reproducibility and installer UX edge cases that surface only in large, heterogeneous environments. Trained as an M.Sc. in Computer Science, he brings discipline from enterprise releases to fast-paced game development pipelines.
