Valery Piashchynski is a Technical Lead specializing in high-performance backend systems with 11 years of experience, currently leading RoadRunner development and driving its adoption from 500k to 3M installs while tripling GitHub stars to 7.5k. He architects and optimizes microservices and low-level performance paths using Go and Rust, and routinely ships scalable systems built on PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ/Kafka and Temporal.io. A pragmatic engineer, he has deep Open Source experience—refactoring core server components, adding protocol and plugin support, and contributing production-grade tracing and IPC libraries. He also experiments with AI-driven tooling and RAG pipelines, bringing automation and modern agent frameworks into legacy processes. Based in Lower Silesia, Poland, Valery combines systems-level curiosity (he even implemented a Rust SAPI for the PHP Zend engine) with community-focused product leadership.
