About me
(WIP)
I'm 22 y/o front-end engineer, projects leader, and
event organizer based in Warsaw, Poland.
if you are rather interested in my professional background,
please visit Experience page.
Building for the web is an incredible adventure
where
art
,
tech, and data converge,
empowering us to
great stories
Interests
Civic tech & open source
Forget "the smart city"! How a about truly grass-roots movement?
Civic tech promotes bottom-up technological activism for the local causes.
Build locally, scale... something like that.
I'm an open-source maintainer and civic-tech enthusiast.
You can check my open-source projects on GitHub.
Hackathons
5am, part of the team is resting, the rest of us -
drinking n-th coffee, eating cold pizza and re-reading
the assignment just to make sure.
Ughh. We misunderstood, need to start from scratch. 7h to go.
The dream!
Some hackathons went like that, some worse, some better
but each brutally taught us to [cheesy]prioritize the UX[/cheesy]
and not our own often false assumptions.
Communities
Currently I'm a member of:
- All Tech is Human UNET Board of Directors
- GitHub Campus Experts
I'm also the VP of both CyberSecurity Student Club, Cyber Interests Club at my university.
I was the president of the organizing committee of the III National Student Cybernetics Symposium.
Tech
Learning new stuff is always fun!
Back in the day I
started my journey with PHP v5 and angular.js.
Now I mostly do "startup stack" i.e. TypeScript, React, Remix, Astro, Python, FastAPI, duckdb, dbt.
Exploring: data engineering and SRE.
