Portfolio: Storytelling Through UI
Should a portfolio showcase projects—or the person behind them? What started as a simple UI decision became an exploration of how interface design itself can tell a story.

SET: Revisited
The hardest part of this project wasn't writing the code—it was knowing when to stop. A story about why postponing features can be just as important as building them.

AI-Powered Email Responder
Does AI actually make us better developers, or just faster ones? A few months of working with AI completely changed the way I think about using language models in software development.

Deep Dive into Data
My first Power BI project turned out to be the beginning of something much bigger than building dashboards. It's the story of discovering data analytics, working closely with clients, and helping companies navigate digital transformation.

Discovering PowerBI
How do you unify years of inconsistent reports without forcing anyone to change the way they work? This project shows that the best technical solutions often improve existing workflows instead of replacing them.

Not A Junior Anymore
What really separates a mid-level developer from a junior? As I discovered, it's less about experience and more about learning to anticipate change before it happens.

Smaller Project, Bigger Role
A side project of the company - a food & dining blog - became a chance to take up a new role as the project's point person from the side of IT. Here started my curiosity for the big picture behind every app - meetings to hold, decisions to make, and responsibility for the final product.

First Major Launch
We launched a new sales platform. Two months after, I realized it already attracted over half a million users. That experience fundamentally changed how I evaluate technical decisions.

The First Job
At first, I thought frontend development was mostly about making interfaces look right. It didn't take long to realize that the real challenge is designing for everything users might do to break them.

more about me

Before I plunged into the world of coding, my main passion was learning foreign languages. Coincidence? I think not ^^. Both fields reward similar traits: patience, persistence in tracking down errors, habitual pattern-seeking, and integrating new bits of knowledge into logical systems that quickly become second nature... But let's get back to the topic.

As a certified linguist, I specialized in translations into English. My portfolio included academic papers, legal documents, marketing & educational materials, press releases... you name it. After my second degree—in Japanese studies—I also started collaborating with three publishing houses that release Asian authors. This resulted in successful literary translations from Japanese published on the Polish market:

Siedmiu książąt i tysiącletni labirynt Ryuko Iwabuchi

GangstaKohske

The list is quite eclectic, including fine literature, children's books, and comics (over 50 volumes in total!). But for me, Asia is also the place of extraordinary adventures such as the year I spent studying at Doshisha University in Kyoto, six months working at a Chinese middle school, and a month-long workation in Vietnam. And although I've been putting all my energy into exploring the intricacies of programming for the past four years, Far Eastern topics are still close to my heart. Whether I'm tuning into Japanese podcasts or brushing up on my basic Chinese, I find a special harmony everywhere there—a peaceful rhythm that makes life more enjoyable.
