As a Senior Engineering Manager at NDA since February 2022, I lead three teams of software engineers and QA specialists, with my direct reports being the team leads. My role involves hands-on coding with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Google App Script, managing and mentoring team members and their leads, capacity planning, staffing, and recruitment. I bridge the gap between engineering and business, helping everyone achieve their goals, and oversee OKRs and performance reviews. Additionally, I provide technical guidance and ensure the teams have the necessary tools, using a tech stack that includes React, Node, GraphQL, Azure, GCP, AWS, R, Typescript, PHP, and GatsbyJS. Previously, I served as the D2C Development Lead at RB (Reckitt Benckiser) from January 2020 to January 2022. I led a team focused on the Shopify platform, spanning three continents, and was responsible for line management, technical mentoring, and serving as the primary technical contact for the business. I led innovation initiatives and managed a team of seven direct reports and a total of 19. My work involved technologies such as JavaScript, NodeJS, React.js, Redux, AWS services, and Shopify-specific tools. My earlier roles include Senior Frontend/Fullstack Developer at Ergo Digital IT, Technical Assessment Task Creator at Devskiller, and Senior Frontend Developer at IPF Digital Poland, among others, where I gained extensive experience in frontend and full-stack development, project management, and agile methodologies.Tech Stack
