Biography

Jakub Duchniewicz is a senior embedded engineer and often a team lead at Tietoevry, working on 5G NR Layer 1 and custom ASICs. He lives close to the metal: C/C++20 and Rust, RTOS/Linux, FPGAs, drivers, and bootloaders. His toolbox includes high-level programming skills and general DevOps with several product deployments in the wild.

Jakub co-founded Sticky Piston Studios, where he ships open source software and small games. Recent projects include Pill Engine (a Rust ECS engine with networking) and ZLED Frame (ESP32/Zephyr Wi-Fi NeoPixel art). Skilled with debugging software and hardware alike, no bug remains unsquashed and untraced under his watch.

He often participates at game jams and hackathons, writes technical posts, and cares about good quality code, efficient build systems and maintainable technical debt. Current interests: embedded ML, Rust in low-latency systems, and reverse engineering.
