Bartosz Rudzinski

Bartosz Rudzinski

I’m a solution-oriented professional who combines a strong technical background with a hands-on, end-to-end approach to problem solving. Currently working as a Software Developer, I specialize in building business applications based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power Platform — but my real focus is on understanding user needs, designing practical solutions, and delivering value from concept to implementation.

Before moving into IT, I worked as a CAD designer, responsible for constructing industrial machinery. That experience taught me to think in systems, take ownership at every stage — from design and production to on-site assembly — and always keep the bigger picture in mind.

I enjoy sharing what I learn, which has led me to speak at industry events and actively contribute to knowledge-sharing within my team. Whether I’m building apps, streamlining workflows, or helping others grow, I aim to create clear, usable, and scalable solutions that make a difference.
