Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRafał K is a software engineer and lead developer behind the hyprwm GitHub organization with seven years of hands-on experience building low-level, compositor-related tooling. Currently studying Computer Science at University College Dublin, he blends academic foundations with practical C++ experience from an internship at Asseco Poland. His open-source work includes significant contributions to the popular Waybar project, where he integrated Hyprland-specific modules and backend components that bridge compositor state to UI. Comfortable across backend and frontend layers, he favors projects that sit close to the system and windowing stack. Colleagues know him for pragmatic problem-solving and a curiosity about the quirks that emerge as you work closer to the OS—sometimes to the point of delightful insanity. Based in Dublin, he continues to expand both his academic and open-source footprint.
