⚠️ This website is running experimental software. Things may be missing or break. Such is the price of progress 😅
I’m a software engineer hailing from Poland. I’ve been fortunate to have a software development career lasting eighteen years. Why not take a peek at my resume? I’m a polyglot programmer, though I mostly use Ruby and Go right now.
I’m obsessed with birds, hiking, and nature photography. Check out some recent finds in photos.
What’s happening
By day, I lead a team of developers creating cutting-edge social data analytics at Measure Studio. If you’ve got no idea what that means, but you’ve got a social media presence, my contact info is below - let’s talk!
I’m currently building Vellum, an opinionated personal wiki. If you’re reading this, it means it works!
I also built and used to run Planet Golang, an unopinionated, unfiltered Golang news aggregator. Since September 2023, Tomáš Urbanec took over as host and maintainer.
