Software and Back-End Engineer

I build accessible, pixel-perfect digital experiences for the web.

0.1 About

I'm a backend-focused web developer and software engineering student at 42 Warsaw, passionate about building scalable and reliable systems. My work revolves around writing clean, maintainable code that powers modern web applications.

Most of my development time is spent in the backend — working with PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and Docker. I enjoy designing APIs, managing databases, and building features that perform well under real-world conditions. I'm also comfortable handling authentication, payments (Stripe), and DevOps basics like deployment and containerization.

While my focus is on backend, I also work with frontend tools like Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and JavaScript when needed — aiming to keep interfaces clean and functional without overcomplicating things.

Outside of development, I enjoy reading, solving algorithmic challenges, and refining my tools and workflows. I'm always learning something new — whether it's a framework, a command-line trick, or a way to write better code.
