About

I'm a backend developer and AI Champion at MasterBorn in Wrocław. I work on payment integrations and backend systems with Node.js, TypeScript and AWS, and help teammates put AI to practical use.

My path through web development and DevOps shaped how I build: I care about reliable delivery, clear boundaries and what happens after the commit. I make developer tools and agent workflows, share what works with my team, and keep experimenting with the smart devices running in my apartment.

AI in Practice

As an AI Champion at MasterBorn, I create reusable plugins, document working practices and share agent workflows with teammates. I designed and built Autodev with AI: a Claude Code workflow that moves from requirements and Jira planning through implementation and pull requests, with human approval gates.

I also developed AI-assisted code review with independent verification of findings. My focus is developer tooling that helps people make better decisions and deliver reliable software.

Team Hackathons

MasterBorn · May 2026 · 2nd of 7 teams · Best Design Award

AI-powered research CRM

Our four-person team built a research CRM prototype using organizer-provided synthetic data. It combined a contact graph and conference briefings with agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over ChromaDB through MCP tools, using Claude and Vercel AI SDK.

MasterBorn · Internal AI hackathon · 2nd place

Group-trip planning assistant

Our three-person team created an LLM-powered assistant that followed a group conversation and helped participants organize a shared trip. The prototype used Gemini Flash for interactions and Claude Code during development.
