Poland, Europe

Summary

I’m a product-minded engineer. I prefer to work on products where is strong focus on users.

Through my around 15 years career I held various engineering and leadership roles. I started as web developer in e-commerce industry then switched for a while to marketing role, mainly growth hacking. That mix of experience drove me to front-end development path focused on data & users which I’ve been connected for around 9 years.

I specialize in medium size projects where long term maintainability is paramount. I believe in software craftsmanship. I prefer to work in a teams where clean, simple and readable code is a must.

I value transparency and responsibility. I have experience in transformation of development teams (at team and company level) into new way of working. I’m happy to take responsibility and make decisions.

I’ve been working remotely for couple of years.
