Education

In 2020, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, followed the next year by a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Cybersecurity, both from the Fundamental Problem Faculty of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Politechnika Wrocławska)

Work

I started programming professionally in March 2019, and after graduating in 2021 it became full time. So far, I’ve primarily worked in e-commerce, with PHP-based applications.

My current role is a Senior Backend Developer / Team Lead. My everyday responsibilities include:

• Programming (maintaining and improving Shopware projects and plugins) and estimating effort
• Troubleshooting: Analyzing and solving difficult issues
• Guiding and advising other team members as a Team Lead
• Organizing the work in projects and making technical decisions as a Tech Lead
• Handling some of the DevOps work (Bitbucket Pipelines, Gitlab CI, Docker, Jenkins)
• Managing parts of the company’s infrastructure (e.g. company GitLab and VPN)
• Reviving legacy projects (also known as “doing magic”)

My tech stack revolves around the PHP-Symfony-Shopware trinity, as most of my work is closely related to Shopware. By extension, I also work a lot with Bash, Shopware-customized Vue.js, Twig, and relational databases (MySQL, MariaDB)

Other technologies

For my personal projects, I typically choose Python 3. I also keep trying to learn some Swift in my free time. I’ve briefly worked with Magento 1 and 2

Other facts

• I enjoy games of all kinds: board games, video games, pen and paper RPGs
• I accumulate books. I mean, I read books, but due to some mysterious circumstances the growth of my to-read stack outpaces my reading speed
• When it comes to sports, I swim and play tennis. I also love indoor bouldering, though my city lacks a nice gym
