Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWojciech Mazur is a Senior Scala Compiler Engineer based in Krakow with 10 years of experience building compilers, runtimes, and backend systems. He contributes to the Scala 3 compiler and maintains Scala Native, driving fixes and features across bytecode generation, identifier mangling, and string literal handling that improve compatibility with JVM and native targets. At VirtusLab he focused on Scala Native tooling and the Scala 3 community build, and earlier built resilient IoT data pipelines using Akka, Kafka and Kubernetes at Comarch. Known for digging into low-level compiler internals as well as practical build and integration issues, he combines systems-level rigor with production engineering. An understated strength is smoothing cross-toolchain builds—ensuring Java and native projects compile reliably across diverse environments.
