Open to systems and forward-deployed engineering roles from early 2027

Hi, I'm Tomáš. I'm an Imperial MSc Advanced Computing graduate.

I'm interested in systems engineering. I got into eBPF and DPDK during a Networked Systems course and ended up doing my thesis on them: AccNet lets unmodified TCP applications skip the Linux network stack. A paper based on that work is under submission. I'm looking for a graduate systems role, or a forward-deployed engineering role where I work with clients directly, in London, Amsterdam or Prague.

AccNet: kernel-bypass networking for unmodified applications

Kernel-bypass stacks like DPDK are fast, but they normally need the application rewritten against a new API. AccNet removes that requirement: eBPF hooks on the system-call path intercept socket calls from unmodified TCP applications and redirect their data through shared-memory ring buffers to Machnet, a DPDK-based transport, so an ordinary binary gets the fast path without knowing it.

1.59–2.59× lower median latency on microbenchmarks
~2× throughput for unmodified memcached and lighttpd
2.34× throughput for an unmodified Go server
0.94–1.17 µs added per message vs native Machnet
