Adam Stylinski is a Research Engineer with 11 years of experience building performance-focused software and tooling from embedded checksums to GPU-accelerated visualization. Based in Latonia Lakes, KY, he combines systems and low-level optimization expertise—demonstrated by AVX512/AVX2/SSE4.1 rewrites of Adler-32 in the zlib-ng project—with practical engineering across UNIX, SAN, and Java ecosystems. At Etegent he has driven GPU backprojection improvements, prototyped LADAR visualization tools, and contributed to analytics software, while earlier roles honed his operational and administration skills at Duke Energy and Sun. He brings a pragmatic blend of research-driven prototyping and production-minded maintenance, often finding performance gains through architecture-aware algorithmic changes.

zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer / Performance Engineer
Contributions:390 reviews, 43 commits, 59 PRs in 7 months
Contributions summary:Adam focused on optimizing the Adler-32 checksum implementation within the zlib-ng project, a compression library. Their contributions included rewriting the checksum using SSE4.1, AVX2, and AVX512 instructions, and also by leveraging vector instructions for performance gains. The user demonstrated expertise in x86 architecture, specifically in CPU-specific instructions like AVX512, and improved code efficiency through algorithmic changes.
