Currently Working as… #
An Elixir developer at Simplebet. I have been working in Elixir exclusively for nearly 4 years and there is still a lot to learn. At the moment I am going deeper into CQRS and RabbitMQ.
Previously #
I have had the opportunity to build experience in both software development and leadership management; enjoying both equally. I have had some great mentors over years and don’t regret any of my positions.
Hobbies and Interests #
Photography #
I am a (very) amateur photographer, all the photos on this site were taken by me. My main camera is my wonderfully portable Nikon z50.
Music Creation #
I did nothing with music for about 30 years and then I started playing around with Ableton. I have been experimenting with music composition as I find time, here is a short sample of my latest - One of the Birds
Software Development #
Yes, both as a day job and a hobby.
Reading #
I am typically working through about 5 different books at any given time. I especially enjoy classic literature and non-fiction.
Craft Beers #
I love tasting craft beers even if my tolerance for drinking is dropping with age. I am not above taking a long trip primarily to taste some new (or old) regional beers.
Coffee #
I am not sure if I enjoy brewing coffee of drinking coffee more. At home I recently switched over to a Moka Pot and I am enjoying the different flavors and textures it produces.
Polish Language #
Still working on learning this hard-for-me language. I have a patient teacher and an inpatient partner, the combination is working pretty well.
Cooking #
I find cooking food more relaxing than eating. I am not especially adept, but I do cook a lot.
Travel #
Although I love to travel, the back and forth between Detroit and Krakow can be tiring, leaving less time to explore places I haven’t visited yet.
Chess #
Just started playing chess again. I don’t win a lot, but I do enjoy the game.
Open Office Hours #
Feel free to book 15 minutes with me. Invitation is open to anyone, although I only speak English.
