About Me

I'm a software engineer from Poland. I've been on this coding journey for a while now, picking up skills in C#, .NET and some front-end technologies along the way. I've had the pleasure of working at EG A/S, Homebook.pl and N-iX (Metro Bank) in the past, but right now I'm working as a software engineer at mBank, where I'm utilizing my coding skills to the fullest. I love to travel, meet new people, learn and experience new things, but above all, I love to code! I’ll always regard my intuition for learning, unlearning and relearning as a strong point of mine. Because that is development process in a nutshell.
Short overview of my technical knowledge:
β€’ C# – asynchronous, polymorphism, inheritance, LINQ, delegates, IoC, DI
β€’ .NET – REST API, routing, middlewares, Entity Framework, Web Forms
β€’ Frontend - Angular, React, Blazor, Bootstrap, Material
β€’ Testing – XUnit, NUnit, Specflow, NSubstitute, Shouldly, Moq
β€’ Data Access - SQL, Dapper, MongoDB
β€’ Tools and platforms - Azure, Service Bus, MediatR, Jira, Bitbucket, Git, Teamcity, Octopus Deploy, Confluence, Jenkins
