I am systems administrator / team leader for a data services company MicroLink (http://www.microlink.com) in Baltic States. I also do some systems and software development for Wikipedia, as well as other MediaWiki porting to PostgreSQL and various other stuff.
Lately I've been working most on Wikimedia cluster operations and performance, with some DBA hat ;-)
In real life: Domas Mituzas (hyperlink means ambition someone would find usefull to fill wiki with me :):):)
Personal website (Lithuanian): dammit.lt

Old stuff can be found somewhere in history, if it works ;-)
- External storage for Article and Image (media)... there's a MogileFS-like development somewhere there... There are simple hooks in code, that allow references to external classes, might be in use some day.
- Unfinished MediaWiki-embedded http code has proved a concept, though, requires targetted development and maybe dropping php4 support.
- Dynamic interfaces (loading pages via XMLHttpRequest) do work, but break some user-accepted browser model. Would require either building whole app with proper persistency interfaces, or forgetting it.
- Hash-function (not hash-table) based distribution of requests among caches.
