I build the data foundations that make analytics, products, and AI actually work.

Principal Data Engineer based in Warsaw, Poland.

I design and scale production data platforms, cloud systems, and AI-native engineering workflows — with a focus on reliability, automation, governance, and making complex systems easier to operate.


01 · What I Build

Data Platforms

Lakehouse & warehouse architecture, ETL/ELT, orchestration, data products, contracts, governance, and data quality.

Think: reliable pipelines → reusable datasets → trustworthy analytics.

AI Engineering

LLMs, RAG, MCP, LangGraph, semantic search, AI-to-BI, and intelligent engineering workflows.

Think: useful AI on top of trustworthy data.

Cloud & Platform

AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, serverless patterns, and platform engineering.

Think: scalable infrastructure without unnecessary complexity.

Reliability

Testing, observability, automation, data quality, failure reduction, and production operations.

Think: systems that keep working after they ship.
