Senior🎓
Top SchoolJalal Mostafa is a systems-focused research fellow and software engineer with a decade of experience building high-performance storage and networking software. At KIT he developed DQDK, boosting UDP/IP data acquisition throughput 4x while cutting power use by 30%, and released SciTS, an open-source C# benchmark for time-series databases; his work earned a Best Paper Award and kernel-level contributions. He combines rigorous academic research (PhD) with practical production experience from full-stack and backend roles, mentoring students and driving architectural decisions across industry projects. Comfortable in both low-level networking (AF_XDP, DPDK, RDMA) and application platforms, he routinely bridges research prototypes and deployable systems. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on problem solver who translates complex performance challenges into measurable, open-source outcomes.
