Hi there! I spent 8 incredible years as a motion graphics designer, where I honed my leadership skills as a team lead for three of those years. In 2022, I made a commercial transition to the tech world. However, my love for programming dates back to when I was just 13 years old. From building webpages, CMS and forums, to modifying games, my curiosity in the tech realm has always been relentless.
Now, I'm deeply immersed in full-stack and backend development. My expertise primarily lies in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and JavaScript. I'm passionate about the benefits of TDD and CI/CD, and I'm always eager to learn more each day.
Currently, I'm working alongside some incredibly talented folks at Visuality.
A few fun facts about me:
- π I have an insatiable wanderlust and love traveling the world in unconventional ways.
- π Passionate about all creatures great and small, I'm also the proud caretaker of a stray cat named Breena.
- πΈ In my free time, you might find me strumming a tune on my guitar.
- π± Gardening brings me peace, and I love taking care of my plants.
- π I enjoy tweaking and fixing cars and motorcycles.
- π§ Iβm currently deepening my understanding of JavaScript.
- π― Iβm open to collaborating on anything intriguing!
- π Teaching is another passion of mine. I was giving a workshops about Hotwire on Ruby Warsaw Community Conference
- β€οΈ I'm also developing many small applications with my wife, Kaja. We can tell that we have SoftwareHome :)
I love to meet like-minded individuals and engage in enriching discussions. You can usually find me at:
I gave a lightning talk about:
- "Replace Frontend Developer with Ruby Junior and Hotwire". In this talk, I shared my story about my first big job: removing React and using Rails and Hotwire instead. It showed how easy and helpful it is to use Hotwire with Rails.
- Parameter Conflicts in Rails: URL vs. Body - Here, I describe a bug that occurred due to poorly designed frontend-backend communication.
