About

I'm a Fullstack Software Engineer based in Poland, currently working at TomTom where I own and develop a platform that manages map data quality workflows used daily by operations teams worldwide.

My work spans the full stack — from building Java Spring Boot microservices, designing workflow engines, and managing PostgreSQL databases, to shipping production-grade React UIs and handling cloud infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes, and Azure.

I lead features end-to-end — from writing RFCs and designing APIs through frontend implementation, database migrations, multi-region deployments, and production support. Outside of work, I'm interested in building developer tools and exploring the intersection of software engineering and AI.
