Hi there, I'm Karol πŸ‘‹

My website

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Systems Experience & Expertise

I am an Engineering Student at the Silesian University of Technology with a deep-rooted passion for low-level systems. My experience spans across the entire spectrum of modern and legacy operating systems:

  • Linux: My daily driver and playground. Expert in Arch Linux (Mainline/Testing), Alpine, and Debian. I specialize in kernel mainlining, driver development, and deep system optimization.
  • Unix: Extensive experience with OpenBSD and FreeBSD 15.0. I appreciate the architectural purity and security-first approach of the BSD family.
  • Minix: Explorations into microkernel architectures and the foundational principles of OS design.
  • Windows: Deep understanding through the lens of high-performance virtualization. I bridge the gap between Linux and Windows using VFIO and KVM/QEMU to achieve native-like performance for mission-critical tasks and gaming.
