Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRemek Zajac is a System Architect with 11 years of experience designing and delivering resilient, cloud-native and embedded systems across drone tech, IoT, and telecommunications. He has led architecture and engineering efforts at DroneUp and AirMap—rewriting spatial tile services for performance, containerizing platforms for regional compliance, and modelling drone mission risk—while earlier roles at Nokia and Schibsted anchored his expertise in high-throughput, low-level systems. Hands-on across stacks, he contributes to notable open-source projects like QGroundControl, improving both UI and core control logic for cross-platform drone ground stations. He excels at turning data-heavy telemetry flows into queryable analytics (parquet/AWS Athena) and at pragmatic trade-offs between performance, safety, and deployability. Colleagues know him for combining deep systems thinking with a developer’s willingness to refactor and ship, and for mentoring teams through complex, mission-critical integrations. Based in Lower Silesia, Poland, he brings a rare blend of embedded, cloud, and spatial systems experience that thrives at the intersection of hardware and large-scale software.
