Questions?

• Where are you based and what’s your availability during the day?

  +
  I’m based in Wrocław, Poland, in the Central European time zone. I’m flexible in terms of working hours and am always agreeable on whatever overlaps are necessary to do my work without compromising its quality.
  
  

  Occasionally, I travel around the world, but I always keep high security standards such as secure network connections, encrypted data storage, secure password management, and mobile device management.
  
  

  Additionally, I always consult on any changes in place of my work upfront to respect your policies and overlaps.

• What type of business engagement are you looking for?

  +
  I provide boutique consultancy services and focus mainly on one client at a time. I respect my energy and work-life balance: hence I do not overcommit or work on many full-time engagements at the same time.
  
  

  I’m available on contract, allowing you to pay as you go and opt out of the engagement in case you need to. Simply speaking, I join the team like other full-time employees, but for only a fixed amount of time.

• What makes you different from other freelancers or agencies?

  +
  During my years at Callstack, a high-quality expert consulting agency, I developed a value-oriented mindset and learned how to understand clients’ needs and focus on fulfilling them. I have a broad view of the development process both from the technical side and from the business side, so I can quickly identify the possible problems and bottlenecks.
  
  

  With me, you won't need to worry about common problems that you could experience while working with freelancers. I’m an over-communicator with a high work ethic and service delivery background. I won’t be sitting under a tree and pretending to do my work with a poor internet connection. I comply with your workflow and internal processes (although I can give you some optimization suggestions :)).
  
  

  I’ve mastered many skills in the areas of app development, team upskilling, and service delivery throughout the years. With me, you have full transparency on what you pay for, which is not always the case in agencies. Additionally, I work on my own and do not have high maintenance costs, which allows me to offer competitive prices.

• What technologies do you work with?

  +
  My forte is React and React Native development, although I feel comfortable working with native mobile technologies. I contribute to React Native core and maintain some modules in its community, which gives me the ability to fix issues on the platform or library level should they occur.
  
  

  I’m fluent in JavaScript (with TypeScript or Flow). I have a very good understanding of Objective-C, Swift, Java, and Kotlin, which means I can easily write native modules and brownfield integrations, and develop native apps or wearable extensions.
  
  

  I’m well trained in release process automation for mobile and web and I’m able to design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Fastlane, AppCenter, CircleCI, and GitHub Actions.
  
  

  On top of that, I have a good grasp of Node.js for the sake of tooling development and I can help with SSR implementation using Next.js.
  
  

  Ultimately, I perceive technology as a tool that can be used to solve business problems and adapt to different tech stacks quickly, making me very versatile in that matter.

• What’s your thing? Building apps, building teams, or maybe something else?

  +
  I like solving problems. It doesn’t matter if they’re related to building apps, teams, or optimizing processes. I have experience building and leading multidisciplinary teams as well as solving very specific technical issues.
  
  

  Helping people is the thing that gives me the most satisfaction. That's why I like building products at scale, especially ones that facilitate various aspects of our life.

• What’s the billing model?

  +
  I work in the Time and Material billing model, which means you pay the hours of work needed to finish a given project and for all the materials I need to use. In case you need to plan a specific budget I provide you with an initial estimation with a breakdown of the project scope into smaller tasks that each have an estimated time and cost. It allows both parties to retain much more control of the project.
