About me

(WIP)

I'm 20 y/o front-end engineer, projects leader, and event organizer based in Warsaw, Poland.

This site highlights my motivations and interests,
if you are rather interested in my professional background,
please visit Experience page.
In my opinion

Building for the web is an incredible adventure
in which art  and tech allow us to emphasize great stories.

Interests

Civic tech & open source

I'm an open-source maintainer and civic-tech enthusiast. I believe that these movements serve the most crucial goal technology has, which is to empower people with help from the community.
You can check my open-source projects on GitHub.

UX

For me, one of the best things about software development is that you get to help experts in their fields fulfill their mission. Although I'm fairly new to the UX field, I seek in it confirmation that our help as engineers is truly useful for end users.

Communities

The greatest achievements are made thanks to teamwork!

Currently I'm a member of:

  • Google Developer Groups Warsaw
  • GitHub Campus Experts
  • Hack Club
  • CyberSecurity Student Club @ WAT
