Work

My favourite job title:

I prefer focusing on a happy life and learning opportunities more than a job title. It may sound unusual, but 'impact' is no longer my top priority.

This is the email footer that I like: Engineering Manager.

Simplified career path:

  • 2003 - 2010: Coding teenager and script kiddie

  • 2005 - 2006: IRC bot creator (1000+ users)

  • 2010 - 2015: Software Engineer

  • 2013 - 2016: Co-founder of a small eCommerce business, which still exists today

  • 2015 - 2021: Manager around product engineering:

    • Job titles: Engineering Manager, Team Leader, Project Manager, Technical Program Manager, Scrum Master, Product Owner, Solutions Architect, Product Discovery Consultant, First-manager-at-startup, Just Rafał

    • And, in the meantime:

      • 2018 - 2019: Consultancy at a manufacturing company (I was in China!)

      • 2020 - 2021: Chief Digital Officer

  • 2022 - 2024: Manager of Managers around Product Engineering
