I am a full-stack developer who specializes in tooling for technical documentation. That means I have knowledge and experience of tools used in technical writing.

• Static site generators
• DevOps and dpeloying web apps
• Webmastering, hosting, DNS, all of that
• Managing versions of docs
• Creating pipelines for translation and localization
• Content strategy (this is just one bullet point, but man! if you know the number of things that go into it, you know it's not just a single skill)
• ContentOps
• Managing teams and projects
• Softawre architecture
• Database design

Full-stack here means I have experience creating web applications. The tech I know most about is:

• React, JS, Typescipt
• Next.js
• Astro
• Express.js
• Postgres, mySQL

I've also dabbled in:

• Python
• C# and the whole Windows stack
• Java (literally two commercial projects, so not a lot really)
• AIs with LLM - I've created more chatbots and LLM pipelines that I can even list, and I learned along the way. I started around 2016 in the pre-LLM days, learning about multinomial regression and all that basic stuff. In the LLM world I've used langchain and related tech to build RAG apps.

Let me not be humble for a minute and appreciate myself. This is for my mental health, but also for potential employers or business partners. I've done some stuff:

• I have been building tools and strategies for ContentOps since 2008.

• I was one of the original co-founders of "soap! technical writing conference" (sic!) - though these guys have taken it to absolutely new heights since I left and I cannot take any credit for its greatness. Still I cannot just forget this part of my life, it's really important to me.

• I am a contributor to and maintaner of the https://techwriter.pl blog.

• I am a co-host of Michał Skowron's https://techwriterkoduje.pl podcast.

• I am on the board of ITCQF, an organization which trains tech writers and issues tech writing certificates across Europe.

• I served as Technical Director (and site manager) of 3di poland when it first opened in Krakow. I played a major role in setting up the Polish branch and making it profitable.

• I used to teach a tech writing class in a post-diploma course for managers in the software industry at AGH University of Science and tecnhology.

• I consider myself an expert public speaker with countless public presentations, private boardroom presentations, and meetings with clients. I've also run training sessions, workshops, and webinars.

  Hobbies

  • Writing, mostly flash fiction.
  • Joke web apps (web apps which make me laugh, like a chatbot that spews out random words and promises they are true in some universe, or a clock that counts down seconds until you can retire).
  • Dark Souls - if you know, you know.
  • Watching deep movies and reading deep books. Yeah, because I'm deep.
  • I used to have a YouTube channel with solo comedy skits, though that's not online anymore.
