Across two decades I’ve guided teams as a support engineer, product manager, release lead, CTO, and now project manager at SII Polska. I help organisations—and my own family—bridge language barriers, modernise platforms, and operationalise AI without losing the human context that makes collaboration work.
These aren’t full CV entries—just the moments that shaped how I lead. If you ever need the detailed version, reach out and I’ll share it directly.
At CodiLime I lead multiple distributed teams across platform engineering and AI productivity—building the tooling that lets squads ship automation faster. Just before that, multi-year separation programmes for Hitachi Energy and ABB taught me how to choreograph thousands of projects, petabytes of history, and stakeholders on every continent without blinking the lights.
As CTO and later Chief Product Owner, I helped a beloved travel brand survive hypergrowth: shrinking costs, migrating to the cloud, scaling for 15× traffic, and landing a culture where teams shipped on time again.
Open-E, Alan Systems, Sabre, and LowCostTravelGroup let me cycle through support desks, release war rooms, QA labs, and 40-person engineering orgs—fueling the empathy I carry into every transformation.
Why this blog exists
The AI landscape moves faster than traditional playbooks. I created this space to document how I adapt—mixing leadership practices with hands-on prototypes, and sharing the messy middle so others don’t have to start from zero.
AI is the amplifier, not the hero. I focus on workflows where automation frees humans to make better strategic calls while keeping accountability clear.
Learning never stops. Whether it’s hands-on prototyping, deep dives into governance, or exploring prompt engineering, I keep pairing leadership craft with fresh technical literacy.
Sharing wins, failures, and decision logs builds trust. This blog is where I document that journey so other engineering leaders can reuse what works.
Every tool I build considers language, culture, and compliance. Guardrails from day one make adoption feasible for globally distributed teams.
Position AI as augmentation, not automation-for-its-own-sake. Guide cross-functional squads so models, data, and governance map back to real outcomes.
Blend courses, prototypes, and retrospectives to stay fluent in emerging tools—from prompt engineering to model lifecycle management.
Publish case studies, speak at meetups, and share build notes so communities can follow along—and so opportunities find you.
Nurture relationships across Poland, Egypt, and Europe. Cross-cultural collaboration accelerates learning and keeps feedback honest.
Each build comes from a lived need—family communication, compliance-heavy operations, or multilingual customer support. If any spark ideas, reach out.
A real-time, multi-provider translation platform built in a week so my Polish parents could converse effortlessly with my Egyptian family. Streaming STT, machine translation, diarisation, and intelligent routing keep chats fluid within 1–3 seconds.
A FastAPI bot connected to our family channel that detects language on every message and replies with Polish ↔ English translations. No more asking someone to relay sentiments—it keeps conversations spontaneous and inclusive.
Self-hosted infrastructure powered by Docker and Caddy, running WordPress instances, n8n automations, experimental FastAPI services, and AI assistants. It’s my sandbox for testing ideas before suggesting them to teams or clients.
How I share
Internal playbooks, public articles, and this blog translate complex journeys—cloud migrations, agile turnarounds, AI experiments—into actionable steps for other leaders.
From AgileByExample to Bitspiration, I’ve shared how agile transformations reshaped Fru.pl. Interviews such as Produktywni.pl’s profile dive into balancing leadership with creative outlets.
I partner with cross-functional teams across Poland, Egypt, and beyond—helping them adopt AI responsibly while growing the next generation of hybrid leaders.
Life beyond laptops
The best strategic decisions happen when the mind has range. Music, fitness, and global influences help me show up grounded for every team.
Never skipping guitar lessons—and adding Middle Eastern duff percussion—keeps creativity high even when projects intensify.
Green belt in karate, open-water swims in Sicily, and a love for coffee-fuelled cooking remind me that sustained performance requires joyful routines.
Japanese aesthetics, Shibari certification, photography, cats, and sketching all influence how I design humane product experiences.
I’m always excited to hear from leaders, researchers, and makers navigating multilingual AI and automation. Drop me a message and let’s compare roadmaps.
