What I Do
Testimonials
I worked with Jakub for a couple of months on a complex Django project. His responsibilities included setting up the environment with docker-compose, working on the Continuous Integration pipeline in Circle-CI, configuring the environment for automated e2e tests to improve our feedback loop and decrease regression errors. He also contributed to features and learned to use BDD and DDD style programming. Jakub is a technical person, skilled with the shell and Python. I enjoyed working together and I'm sure he will be an asset to any team.
Jakub is a pleasure to work with. He has a very good ability to understand a project goal then subsequently recommend and deploy efficient solutions. A large variety of technologies are required to drive an IoT project and can be complicated. Jakub understood all the pieces and developed solutions quickly and thoroughly. Blending off the shelf software with custom coding, Jakub produced a very nice frontend and backend solution for C-Keg. He is reliable and can respond quickly when necessary. I came to Jakub through a recommendation and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Jakub was awesome as Web Developer. He quickly got up to speed on a project we had in mid-progress and was immediately able to make some big contributions. He worked out well as a remote worker with solid communication skills and was able to manage my expectations as his manger. I highly recommend Jakub for anyone looking for a Web Developer and I look forward to working with him in the future. He has solid Django, AWS, Skills. Solid Full Stack Developer.
