Career · automotive and automation

An engineer who cares about every parameter.

From autonomous LGVs in Poland, Italy, Sweden and the USA, through R&D at Valeo, to ADAS function calibration. I'm open to conversations about projects that call for automation, ADAS and programming.

About me

What interests me most is why something works, and how to make it work better.

At university I built an automatic camera slider: from the drive mechanism and PCB to the C++ software. For two years I was president of SEP Student Chapter No. 19 at AGH University.

At work I learned on real deployments: I tracked down faults from code bugs to damaged cables, trained operators and worked with customers from around the world. Today, in automotive, I work where precision matters most: how a car behaves in situations where it assists the driver.

Websites are my second passion: I completed the Full Stack Developer course at Kodilla and build websites for businesses.
