Piotr Szulawski
Engineering Manager · Platform Engineering & SRE
Hi! My name is Piotr, i'm a Senior Engineering Manager with 19 years in IT, the last 10 in leadership. Currently running Platform Engineering & SRE at a large enterprise - CI/CD infrastructure, Kubernetes, developer tooling, and the kind of cross-cutting problems that don't fit neatly into any product team's backlog.
This blog will be mostly field notes. Real problems, real solutions, no synthetic examples. When something took me a week to figure out or gave me that AHA! moment, I'm writing it down so the next person spends an afternoon instead.
Topics I write about: platform engineering, SRE, GitHub Actions, developer experience, and increasingly - how AI agents fit into infrastructure work.
