Custom campervan conversion company in Kraków, 20+ completed builds. Interactive cost calculator with dynamic pricing, bilingual PL/EN, WooCommerce store, portfolio showcase and sticky CTA architecture.
Full-stack developer with a front-end specialism. I build production web applications across the modern JavaScript ecosystem — React, Next.js, TypeScript — and the WordPress / PHP world. Equally at home shipping client sites with WooCommerce as I am architecting full-stack systems with FastAPI, PostgreSQL and real-time WebSockets.
I came to code through years on Polish film sets, recording production sound on feature films and primetime TV drama. Sets teach you a particular discipline: there are no second takes, the whole crew waits on you, and either it works or it doesn't.
That's the same instinct I bring to shipping software. Clean architecture. Optimistic UI. Performance that doesn't cave under real users. Things that actually work in production.
My recent work spans a dual-strategy portfolio tracker exposing 120+ REST endpoints with market regime detection, content aggregation platforms, spaced-repetition learning apps, an automated trading bot running 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi, and bilingual commercial sites with custom calculators.
Most of my technical stack is self-taught through shipping real projects — not coursework. I'm open to ambitious work where I can own features end-to-end.
