Building scalable systems and mentoring high-performing teams
I build systems that scale, empower developers, and deliver real results.
I've led teams, built audit platforms, architected microservices, and released OSS like Rivusio and Zephcast.
I care about clean code, engineering culture, and moving fast without breaking clarity.
Based in Georgetown, TX. I am running on coffee, clean commits, and zero excuses.
★ From Poland to Tech Leadership: A Story of Determination ★
Growing up in Poland during martial law taught invaluable lessons about resilience and freedom. Living through political upheaval and economic hardship forged a determination to build a better future, no matter the obstacles.
My freedom was not free. It came with sacrifice, vigilance, and the courage to stand up for what was right in a time when speaking out carried real consequences. These formative experiences instilled a deep appreciation for liberty that continues to guide my decisions today.
Arrived in the United States with just $400, temporarily leaving behind a wife and 10-month-old son in pursuit of opportunity. What followed was a decade of consulting work, traveling across the country while finding ways to return home weekly or bi-weekly to maintain family bonds.
Every sacrifice was made with purpose and determination, always following the proper legal channels to secure a green card and eventually citizenship for the family.
The path to securing a green card and eventually citizenship meant years of sacrifice and separation. Every step was taken by the book, following immigration laws while working tirelessly to build a foundation for family and future.
These challenges reinforced the value of persistence and the importance of long-term vision over short-term comfort. The journey wasn't just about changing location, but about creating lasting opportunity.
Earned two master's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. Collaborated with professionals from across the globe, gaining perspective and approaches that transcend cultural boundaries. This diverse experience has proven invaluable when building and leading engineering teams.
Working with people from various backgrounds and cultures has enriched both technical skills and leadership approach, creating a foundation for effective communication and problem-solving in diverse environments.
From startups to multi-billion dollar enterprises, each role has added depth to technical expertise and leadership philosophy. The journey has evolved from individual contributor to leader, coach, and mentor always with an emphasis on empowering others to achieve their potential.
This evolution has been guided by a commitment to excellence and continuous learning, adapting to new technologies and methodologies while maintaining core principles of quality and integrity.
Maintaining peak performance extends beyond professional life. Daily gym sessions, healthy nutrition, and periodic 7-day water fasts are part of a disciplined approach to physical and mental well-being.
A passion for high-performance driving and sports cars balances technical precision with exhilaration, with plans to pursue a racer's license. This commitment to excellence in all areas of life reinforces the same principles that drive professional success.
