Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTaras Glek is a systems-oriented software engineer and leader with 13+ years building high-performance infrastructure across compilers, telemetry, storage, and networking, based in Mountain View. He led performance teams at Mozilla and Pure Storage, delivered multi-fold latency and throughput improvements for products like FlashArray, and architected Mozilla’s end-to-end telemetry pipeline that scaled from client instrumentation to S3-backed analytics. Taras combines deep hands-on work (PGO/LTO-style compiler tooling, static analysis, NUMA and network tuning) with pragmatic engineering processes—setting up regression-detection systems and measurement-driven discipline to prevent performance drift. He’s comfortable across the stack from device-level performance tuning to kubernetes/Kafka streaming and LLM infrastructure, and in his spare time prototyped life-critical embedded systems (comma.ai for his Prius, an automated chicken coop), reflecting a taste for rapid, high-impact experiments.
