The primary language I use is Java but I have also programmed in Python, Ruby and Scala. I worked as a technical solution architect at merlin.pl. infrastructure when we were moving from PL/SQL to J2EE. I engineering a great performance optimized solution that made the application 10 times faster than requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently, I am working as a Senior Expert at F.Hoffmann-La Roche to help define future roadmap in design and development of Enterprise software at Roche and Genentech and build adoption for new technologies.

But don’t get me wrong, I am not your typical nerd. I'm a pleasant guy that you can drink a glass of wine with me and talk about a range of topics with. My leisure activities include playing basketball, soccer and listening to music. I try to be pragmatic while staying focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.
