About

I grew up in Lublin, Poland where I lived up until my short university adventure. In 2016 I moved to Warsaw to study Management, but was very lucky to get involved with programming for my cousin who had a small creative studio, which led me to drop out of college and pursue software engineering. After that I worked in software-houses and product companies to get a grasp on different sides of working with clients and the product itself. Through this time I was focusing on the front-end, while also dipping my hands in backend, devops or IoT technologies.

Sports

Currently I am a big fan of squash and I try to get better at it. I take part in entry-level tournaments and am always looking for a nice workout. Other than that, depending on season and my motivation I enjoy (in that order):
  • swimming
  • badminton
  • jogging
  • boulder climbing

Music

I maintain a number of playlists, with a common denominator → chill. I usually listen to a slower pace music from genres of jazz, r&b, rap, pop, rock, classical and others. Check out my profile to learn more. Below I embedded two of my favorite and most maintained playlists
 
Latin American Chill - I recently fell in love with spanish music and language, hence the playlist. Perfect to listen to on a hot summers evening, while sitting on a porch…
 
Modern Chill - This playlist contains a lot of r&b / rap / hip-hop / and others. It what I like to listen while I do sports, drive a car or simply chill
 

My Music

In addition to listening to music I really enjoy making it. Below is the only good-quality recording that I made with my sister. I’m not a fantastic musician, but I enjoy playing guitar, piano and occasionally singing.

Pottery

When I was in middle school, I attended pottery classes thanks to my amazing parents who always tried to find great creative activities for me. After that I forgot about it up until the pandemic when I stumbled across a great workshop where I started attending classes again with my friends. Currently I do pottery after hours when I have some free time. I already acquired some of the necessary tools, and in the future I would love to have a bigger space to work at than my small city apartment.
I’m yet to take proper photos of my works so for now I’m attaching lower quality photos I took with my phone
