Technology enthusiast loving software development since the age of 10. Now interested in the hardest programming challenges, development optimization, machine learning and open-source movement.
Trying to expand his knowledge in various programming-related areas, understand and properly apply patterns and practices, see the bigger picture and create new technologies which not only improve the software itself but also make users experience better.
Functional programming, fluent API, immutability, complex data structures, configuration over convention, library packages, reflection, reducing cognitive complexity
Over many years, I have been improving my software development capabilities and choosing paradigms which produce the best outcome. Code conventions, that I usually use, rely mostly on the functional programming style.
Additionally, while creating new libraries and frameworks, I tend to prepare fluent APIs with expressive configuration. I consider reflection (with expression trees) as a powerful tool to build highly generic and reusable software. I think that many developers do not use proper data structures (even ones offered by the standard library) even though choosing wisely is a key to the best performance.
JetBrains developer tools (Rider, ReSharper, WebStorm, DataGrip, etc.), Azure DevOps, GIT version control
I am a person who enjoys learning and using new tools to simplify daily tasks. It can be as easy as choosing a fast enough programming environment that does not distract me, shows me useful information about the code or reduces the pain to traverse the codebase. Over the last 3 years, I found JetBrains products as tools worth every penny.
Azure, C#, .NET 5, ASP Core, LINQ, Entity Framework, Dependency Injection, NUnit, NLog, Moq, FluentAssertions, AutoMapper, Microsoft SQL Server, ElasticSearch
Creating new software is great, but preparing tools to increase the efficiency of other developers is even better. Thinking about code quality, API stability, version distribution, sharing knowledge, gathering feedback, achieving genericness and analysing internal mechanisms inside the most popular libraries - all those activities are greatly improving my skills.
VueJS, Vuex, Vuetify, Webpack, Angular, Ionic, JavaScript, TypeScript
Currently, I am working on several projects that are distributed as reusable libraries within the company. I not only like such tasks from a programming perspective - learning, experimenting and applying new UI / UX patterns is something that I enjoy the most. I consider the frontend part of an application as a way to promote and emphasize the professionalism behind the product.
Python, Django, Django REST Framework, Unity3D, MongoDB, SQLite, embedded systems (e.g. Raspberry Pi, STM32, Beaglebone)
While working on several bigger projects, I tend to limit the size of the technology stack and choose the most reliable solutions. This allows me to achieve a higher level of expertise and become fluent. I am aware that my knowledge can be sometimes outdated, however, it does not take too much time to familiarize myself with all changes that happened over time.
PDF generation library for .NET
Generating PDF documents is never easy. There are several existing solutions such as HTML-to-PDF converters. My solution is significantly different. The library offers fluent API to easily describe documents content, and then, by using special layouting engine, the content is properly rendered into a target file. This project is not only about software development process but mainly about being a part of the fantastic open-source community and helping others with creating world-changing software.

Messages routing for NetMQ
This project is my first attempt to create a reusable library that solves a real programming problem. I learned how to properly design architecture, create documentation and test all important use-cases. Although the solved problem is a niche, the library is still actively used.

Starting a software development company was my dream for many years. Beginnings are always hard but I am doing my best to finally reach success. Right now I am working on various projects, creating bigger and smaller applications, working on open-source solutions, as well as thinking about founding an own SaaS.

Jacobs (previously CH2M)
Over years, I have been working on several major capabilities. My biggest accomplishment was recognizing multiple patterns in the team's workflow and taking a chance to optimize them. As a result, I created a couple of libraries that significantly simplified the development process of creating data-analysis webpages, preparing edit forms or generating reports. Now, the mentioned tasks are taking hours instead of days, and the overall results are more consistent and work better.
Additionally, I developed libraries for rendering maps, packaging content into ZIP files or executing GIS calculations. Currently, I am trying to improve existing libraries, add new features and improve performance. Moreover, I am helping with the development process of new, complex dashboards.

Motorola Solutions
Developing software used for programming and configuring Motorola radios. Main responsibilities: adding new features, investigating existing functionalities, code quality and performance improvements, preparing documentation, creating tests. The team used several common approaches such as a continues delivery system or advanced agile process.

Jagiellonian University in Cracow
Designing and developing software solutions for various research projects as a part of my collaboration with Experimental Computer Physics Department (at the Jagiellonian University). All my projects have been physics-related and based on the data measurement process.
One of my biggest challenges was to create a software for data acquisition and analysis from gamma spectroscopy experiments. This project involved native communication with the measuring device, storing data in an optimized format (capable to handle millions of events per second, billions in total), providing real-time statistical and visualization features, as well as being able to perform calibration operation or export gathered data as a report.
In another project, I designed and implemented architecture of Universal Measurement Network - an Internet of Things project created for constructing measurement devices (based on IoT embedded platforms such as Raspberry Pi), with various sensors and measurement algorithms. All data was sent and then collected on the server (Python, Django, MongoDB), capable of storing hundreds of billions of measurement points (time, location, voltage, air quality, temperature, etc.) and providing cached data for accessing, filtering and analysing time series. Both platforms, measurement stations and servers, have implemented plugin capabilities. That means, based on the type of measurement network and specific needs, the system could be extended to handle required tasks.

Creating articles about mobile technology. I described how the Android OS is working internally, for example how different task schedulers may safe battery life or significantly improve performance. I have also prepared a game development video course that is the most popular, free knowledge source in Poland on the YouTube platform (polish name: "Kurs Tworzenia Gier") - up to now it was viewed over 750 thousand times.

Finding solutions for complex programming problems is never easy. Sometimes, standing up and going away from the computer is the best way to rethink everything. For me, cycling is a perfect activity when I can not only take care of my body, admire breathtaking views but also reconsider my design decisions to improve the final product.

I am not a professional, I do not know any famous songs, I just sit in front of the piano and improvise a little, feeling the pleasure of being here and now, of being able to flow my feelings through my fingers, hearing something beautiful.
