Senior🎓
Top SchoolTomek Mrugalski is a veteran network software engineer and leader with over two decades focused on DHCP, IPv6, and open source development. As Director of DHCP Development at ISC he drives Kea and Stork product strategy, customer engagement, release planning and people management while still contributing code to the Kea DHCPv4/v6 server. A long-time IETF contributor and co-chair of the DHC working group, he’s co-authored 14 RFCs and built Dibbler, an early DHCPv6 implementation, demonstrating deep protocol-level expertise. Comfortable across C++ and Python, he pairs hands-on systems programming and testing infrastructure experience with pragmatic open-source project stewardship. Based in Gdańsk, he brings unusual domain depth—combining standards leadership, large-scale server engineering and even a sideline in astrodynamics testing—tempered by a personal passion for astronomy.

Back-end DeveloperContributions:5290 commits, 42 PRs, 1874 pushes in 11 years 9 months
Contributions summary:Tomek's commits indicate involvement in back-end development within the context of Kea's DHCP server project, specifically focusing on enhancements and bug fixes related to parameter handling in control commands. The contributions involve modifications to existing code, specifically in the area of ensuring that when a subnet ID is not provided in a command, it is figured out by Kea code and it also involves a new code for checking if the value in subnet IDs is as expected. Their work spans across DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers, focusing on the implementation of the `lease4-add`, `lease6-add`, `lease4-get-all` and other related commands. They have also been responsible for updates of the documentation.
