As a highly skilled engineering leader with over a decade of experience, I have honed my expertise in system modeling, web frontend development, and team management. My technical proficiency spans across DDD, CQRS, and Event Storming, utilizing languages like Node, Ruby, and PHP. Additionally, I have a strong background in tech strategy, people leadership, and optimizing SDLC and delivery processes. In my current role as Director of Engineering at Packhelp, I have successfully partnered with the CPO in driving product and tech strategy, supported architectural decisions, managed budgets, and developed a hiring strategy. A key achievement in this role was transforming Packhelp from a startup to a mature engineering team, reducing infrastructure and operational costs by 45%, and expanding the company’s reach from the Polish market to the EU and US. Before my current position, I have a broad range of experience from working as a Software Engineer and Engineering Manager, where I led cross-functional teams and delivered scalable solutions for various industries, including Real Estate, Automotive, and Renewable Energy. I have consistently contributed to the growth and efficiency of the organizations I’ve worked with, whether through advising startups on growth and tech strategy or developing high-performing software solutions using cutting-edge technologies like React, WebGL, and Canvas API. My education at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology has provided a solid foundation, allowing me to excel in roles that require both technical depth and leadership skills.Tech Stack
