An important lesson, which I often forget about. It generally goes down to – speaking to someone or try that thing before building an opinion. Doing a bit of research. A little positive attitude also helps. Otherwise it’s like reading newspapers, who try to give you simple information, selling it as immediate answer. In my recent learnings, I had the same about Vercel. A technology solution, which for some reason I was very sceptical about. Up until the time I actually tried it, worked on it and spoke to people who came up with the idea. And guess what, I was wrong in my assumptions.
An experienced engineer and manager. Worked in multiple industries in various sized enterprises. A strong believer that software is actually Peopleware. A software developer at heart, and also worked as a QA engineer, test manager, project manager, delivery manager and more.
I have managed teams and organizations of up to 40 people and budgets of 5mln dollars. I truly believe in DORA metrics and engineering efficiency. I am an active coder, with some playground projects in: https://github.com/fitg?tab=repositories.

On the personal side - a fan of magic the gathering, board games, role-playing games, psychology, real evidence-based science, books worth to read, European comics ... aaaand football (I am an active player still and support my home team of Pogon Szczecin).

Currently working at Zoopla.co.uk, re-imagining the property market, aiming to build the best information technology practices and services.
