Preface

I have been active in the professional market since 1997.

So far, I have worked in the following industries:


1. Medical Devices

2. Household appliances

3. Automotive

4. E-commerce

5. Energy

6. Military


My main education is a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering supported and extended by two postgraduate studies in IT and Business Management.

In each of the businesses mentioned above, I worked with R&D, Engineering, Production, Test Laboratories, Infrastructure Maintenance and IT departments.

I managed departments of various sizes from several people to 55 people with substructures of managers.

My daily work and cooperation with people is based on values inspired by John C. Maxwell's "5 Levels of Leadership".

I base my personal development on the Udemy training platform, towards software development, testing and validation.

I have completed a year-long course "Practical Python" led by Krzysztof Mędrela.

I am currently taking a few courses including "Azure DevOps From Zero to Hero".
