Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSzymon Scharmach is a Senior Principal Engineer with over a decade of experience building resilient cloud and infrastructure platforms, currently shaping data streaming and real-time systems at Nike. He began his career in deterministic embedded and telecom engineering (C/C++, WCDMA/LTE, UEFI, kernel drivers) and evolved into a cloud pragmatist who designs systems assuming failure—experience forged by hands-on recovery of Ceph clusters, Kubernetes certs, and live OpenShift migrations. His expertise spans large-scale data streaming (Kafka, NiFi), cloud cost optimization, NVMeOF for containers, and multi-tenant isolation, with a track record of translating technical choices into business value. As a former Cloud Solutions Architect at Intel, he helped ISVs optimize workloads on OpenShift and defined product requirements and architectures for high-performance, disaggregated storage. Now completing an Executive MBA, he pairs technical depth with strategic product and program thinking, serving as the bridge between engineering teams and leadership. An unexpected strength: his background in low-level, latency-sensitive systems gives him a rare instincts for performance and isolation in cloud-native designs.
