Tomasz Zieliński

Tomasz Zielinski
Tomasz earned a B.Sc. in Computer Science from AGH University of Kraków and an M.Sc. in Distributed Systems from TU Delft. He built streaming pipelines for logistics platforms and hardened event-driven systems that kept trucks moving. His favorite projects are “boring” on purpose: predictable, observable, and fast. In print, he demystifies data mesh, incident response, and the art of controlling blast radius. Tomasz leads postmortem workshops, contributes to open-source connectors, and maintains a living playbook for on-call rotations. He mentors student engineers, tinkers with woodworking jigs, and pulls espresso shots at sunrise before cycling cobbled streets when the city is still.
