Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSławomir Ptak is a compiler engineer based in Gdańsk with over a decade of hands-on experience in storage systems, NVMe, RAID and Windows storage drivers, and three years of formal experience in compiler-focused roles. He has held multiple engineering and architect roles at Intel, progressing from driver implementation to designing caching and data reliability systems and most recently working on compiler engineering. As an active open-source contributor he has improved SPDK (Storage Performance Development Kit) by fixing compilation issues, adding random I/O offset selection, and extending DIF/DIX integrity features with CRC-32C/CRC-64 support—work that touches a widely used storage performance project. Known for pragmatic low-level problem solving, he frequently bridges hardware-aware storage design with portable, backward-compatible code changes for older toolchains. Sławomir holds a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Gdańsk and combines system-level depth with a knack for making complex reliability features practical in production.
