From Allegro.pl
I'm a software engineer at Allegro, a major Polish e-commerce company. I have 20 years of experience in the IT industry in various roles (mostly as developer and technical leader) in software companies. I spent the last 17 years of my career with Java-related technologies. For the past two years I've used Kotlin as my primary programming language (with delight). I blog a bit, give talks and contribute to open source.
