Few words about me

My name is Lukasz (he/him) and I really like creating products together with awesome teams. The roles that I play vary from a staff engineer, tech lead, engineering manager or head of engineering as I enjoy jumping between the IC and management tracks. Whenever I can, I get my hands dirty with Java, Kotlin and ~~Java~~TypeScript with a proper amount of terraform for the infrastructure. Ex-Thoughtworks, currently building things at air up 💦‍️.

This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer.

Short work history

Company	What did I do
air up (2023-now)	Senior Engineering Manager
	Driving the set up of the tech organisation responsible for the shop and its evolution. Established ’You build it, you run it’ mindset, proper on-call, observability and engineering practices rooted in XP ideas. Lead the shop/platfrom re-write initiative. Tech involved: next.js on vercel / typescript / kotlin / http4k / terraform / aws
gropyus (2021-2023)	Expert Software Engineer & Head of Engineering

thoughtworks (2013-2021)	Software Developer & Principal Consultant
	As a consultant I worked with multiple clients across different industries (retail, medical devices, publishing, rights management). Progressing from senior developer to principal, I set up and tech-led teams building large-scale e-commerce platforms, a clinical data management system and a content distribution platform — ending up responsible for the technical side of a project with 100+ engineers. It was also during this time that I discovered the true value of agile (with a small ‘a’) and XP practices. Tech involved: java / spring / scala / akka / javascript / angularjs / docker / terraform / aws / postgresql / mongodb
