Development
PHP, JS/Vue/Node, Python, MVC frameworks, SQL. Everything around web applications, infrastructure and hardware close to the metal. Impossible upgrades (strangler pattern), maintenance and upgrades of legacy software.
I find problems, and I solve them. And I don't give up until it's done.

How I ended up here
I was writing code and building infrastructure long before "cloud" became a verb. Over 20 years across the whole stack: from debugging production at 2 am to presenting strategies to boards and CEOs.
In 2011 I got fired. The best thing that ever happened to me, even if I didn't see it right away. I went freelance, co-founded Effihub (SaaS), built the company with the other founders to more than 100 paying customers and sold it in 2025.
Along the way I discovered that every technical disaster I had ever seen had the same two root causes: a lack of knowledge, skills or experience, and people who couldn't communicate with each other. I got DISC D3 certified. Now I solve that problem too.
Based in Copenhagen, born in Poland. Climbed Kilimanjaro. Cooks with heart. Collects signed vinyl records and espresso cups. Uses 4 languages every day. Authentic to the bone, but luckily that doesn't mean you have to be embarrassed when I'm around.
Skills are the engine. Ownership is the fuel.
What I work with
A generalist by nature and an expert in many areas. I connect the dots across disciplines, and when needed, I learn new things very fast.
Infrastructure
Linux, cloud (DO, AWS, OVH), Cloudflare/Imperva, databases, web, proxy, high availability, failover, bare metal, serverless, horizontal and vertical scaling.
DevOps
SaltStack, Docker, CI/CD, monitoring, security hardening, zero-downtime deployment, backup, recovery and compliance.
DISC D3
Translating between tech and business: asking better questions and being able to communicate with everyone in a company.
