Open Source
I believe in community-driven collaboration through open source. It’s what makes the web the most expansive and accessible ecosystem in the industry. I’ve seen it change people’s lives, including my own.
I maintain Theme UI, and I tend to help out with problems I encounter.
More than 455 of my PRs were merged to public repositories.

Education
BSc Computer Science, University of Wrocław
I learned to google really hard and read research papers.
I don’t write Haskell nor Prolog nor x86-64 assembly nowadays, and I probably wouldn’t be able to repeat all the logic and discrete math proofs that I used to be able to do, but the uni taught me patience, curiosity and “I don’t know this yet, give me a few hours to read” attitude.
