Software engineer.
Product-minded.
Twice a founder.

Now

Toolbox React and TypeScript, Next.js, Expo, Python and Django. ML: TensorFlow, scikit-learn, XGBoost, SHAP. AI daily drivers: Claude Code, ChatGPT, Ollama, Automatic1111, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. After hours: Rust, C, LLVM.

AI in practice

Most of my client work is what the industry now calls forward-deployed engineering: embedded with the owner, shipping automations that win back their time.

• Company knowledge bases and agent workflows

  built on Claude Code and MCP servers, deployed inside a client's business, so the owner's know-how stops living only in the owner's head.

• Engineering standards for teams adopting AI

  code review culture, guardrails and playbooks that make AI output dependable enough to merge. At Codility, I was part of the team whose standards unified output quality and cut review times.

• Hands-on training and workshops

  for developers and founders, including the dev team of an ERP software company. Practice runs on the team's own real work.

• Research background

  grounded in an MSc thesis on ML detection of emotion-recognition deficits: XGBoost, SHAP, explainability. Graded 6/6, applied in a university research project.

Selected work

• Skills Intelligence at Codility

  A new product line built on the company's existing foundations: my team owns it end-to-end, from research to live customers. One piece began as an internal-hackathon experiment, AI-generated candidate feedback that held up and is now permanent, read by candidates every day.

• Emocean

  Led the build of an AI-backed app that helps diagnose and train emotion recognition in children. Born at a 24-hour hackathon (2nd place), grown into interdisciplinary university research, presented at the Silesian Science Festival.

• Python compiler in Rust

  A hobby compiler, not an interpreter: it takes CPython bytecode straight to LLVM, skipping the AST. So far it compiles integer arithmetic, variables and print. Built purely for the joy of it. github.com/Tomek20225

• FindMeAJob

  Reverse-recruitment platform: one codebase for Android, iOS and web (Expo + Next.js). Built as one of the first 20 Polish participants in Universities of the Future, the pilot program of NCBR, Poland's National Centre for Research and Development, pairing students with industry experts. National finalist of the Young Masters competition at the 29th Teleinformatics Forum.

• Education platform at scale

  Architected a service for 70,000 users, with contests running live for up to 10,000 participants at once.

• Spark Management

  Energy cost analysis and optimization SaaS, co-founded with two partners as a side venture. The first version shipped; the venture is on hold, and I am fine saying so.

1. since 2024

   Full-Stack Engineer · Codility

   Skills Intelligence. Promoted IC3 to IC4 in 2025. +

   Full-stack work across Python, Django, React and TypeScript on Skills Intelligence, the module that turns skills data into decisions leaders can trust. My team owns it end-to-end, from concept and research to live customers. In its first season in the G2 Skills Management category (Summer 2026), it was named a Leader and a High Performer across the board, with enterprise recognition for best results, best estimated ROI, and fastest and best implementation. Co-built the AI-generated feedback that candidates receive after their sessions, and was part of the team that set engineering standards which unified output quality across the org and cut review times. Fully remote, promoted to IC4 after the first year. Recruitment technology keeps finding me: I hired for my own software house, built a reverse-recruitment platform with NCBR, and now I build the tools other teams hire and grow with.

2. since 2025

   Co-founder · Two Bit Coders

   Software studio, built to stay boutique. +

   A two-person studio run with one principle: the people who sell the work are the people who build it. The work is forward-deployed by nature: I sit down with the owner, run the discovery, then build the fix and own the production rollout. The practice covers AI enablement built on Claude Code (audits, hands-on training, engineering standards) that ends with working automations in the owner's hands; digitizing company operations into single dedicated systems, like the one that replaced five separate tools and hand-run spreadsheets for a construction firm; and web presence that earns client trust, WCAG accessibility included. Boutique by design, with a deliberately short client queue.

   Co-founder & CEO · Recodeit

   Founded at 18. Team of 10, 100+ shipped projects. +

   Software house specialized in custom web and hybrid apps. Grew it from a teenage idea to a team of 10 with over 1M PLN in annual revenue; oversaw strategy, sales and delivery while staying hands-on with code. The company shipped 100+ projects, including an education platform architected for 70,000 users. Mentored 15 interns into working developers. Handed the company to my partner in 2025, took the lessons with me.
