freelance full-stack engineer
Actions
Born and raised in Poznań, Poland, he was originally trained as a psychologist.
He started coding during his undergraduate studies and by the time he was a master's student, it has become a career. Since then, he's worked for a couple of german startups and for the last 2 years has been working freelance as a digital nomad - presently living in Lima, Peru.
His current interests are fronted engineering, the future of human-computer interaction and making empathy a first-class citizen in tech.

Why empathy is the next big thing in tech.
As software engineers, we pride ourselves on being able to understand computers. In this talk, I'd like to draw our focus away from machines and back towards humans to talk about one of the most under-appreciated qualities of an engineer - empathy.
We need empathy when we review each other's code.
We need "user empathy" in order to build the right products.
Last but not least, we need empathy with ourselves in order to fight the ever-present "impostor syndrome".
I will draw on research in social psychology to show how emphasizing empathy can help your engineers be a happier and more productive team, and finish up with some recommendations.
Write your own reactive state management library in 40 lines of code
Have you been using MobX and wondering how it works under the hood?
Or perhaps you've been dreaming of a better future where your components just "know" when to update when some data changes?
In this session, I'm going to explain principles behind reactive programming and how they can be applied to fronted engineering. Specifically, I will talk about why it's a good fit for a fronted state management library.
Then, I will present a live code demo and implement a simplified reactive state management library from scratch!
