Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Kiper is a seasoned software developer with 15+ years of experience, currently focused on low-level boot and firmware security at Oracle where he serves as a TrenchBoot technical leader and GRUB maintainer. His deep kernel and virtualization background includes work on Xen hypervisor BIOS/UEFI boot, kexec, kdump, makedumpfile, crash tooling, and memory hotplug, complemented by broad systems skills across *NIX, Linux and Windows server administration, networking, and cryptography. He combines academic rigor (MSc and PhD from Warsaw University of Technology) with entrepreneurial experience running NET SPACE, giving him both research depth and product-oriented pragmatism. Based in Warsaw, he’s an enthusiastic hardware tinkerer—maintaining time servers, experimenting with radio and electronics, and restoring real-size trains with the Polish Association of Railway Enthusiasts—which feeds his practical interest in resilient, observable systems. An uncommon curiosity about real-world safety (from railways to why aircraft rarely collide midair) underscores his focus on robustness and failure modes in complex systems.
