Hi there! I spent 8 incredible years as a motion graphics designer, where I honed my leadership skills as a team lead for three of those years. In 2022, I made a commercial transition to the tech world. However, my love for programming dates back to when I was just 13 years old. From building webpages, CMS and forums, to modifying games, my curiosity in the tech realm has always been relentless.
Now, I'm deeply immersed in full-stack and backend development. My expertise primarily lies in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and JavaScript. I'm passionate about the benefits of TDD and CI/CD, and I'm always eager to learn more each day.
Currently, I'm working alongside some incredibly talented folks at Visuality.
A few fun facts about me:
- ๐ I have an insatiable wanderlust and love traveling the world in unconventional ways.
- ๐ Passionate about all creatures great and small, I'm also the proud caretaker of a stray cat named Breena.
- ๐ธ In my free time, you might find me strumming a tune on my guitar.
- ๐ฑ Gardening brings me peace, and I love taking care of my plants.
- ๐ I enjoy tweaking and fixing cars and motorcycles.
- ๐ง Iโm currently deepening my understanding of JavaScript.
- ๐ฏ Iโm open to collaborating on anything intriguing!
- ๐ Teaching is another passion of mine. Lately, I've been investing my efforts to train an enthusiastic super junior developer: my wife, Kaja.
I love to meet like-minded individuals and engage in enriching discussions. You can usually find me at:
I gave a lightning talk about:
- "Replace Frontend Developer with Ruby Junior and Hotwire". In this talk, I shared my story about my first big job: removing React and using Rails and Hotwire instead. It showed how easy and helpful it is to use Hotwire with Rails.
- Parameter Conflicts in Rails: URL vs. Body - Here, I describe a bug that occurred due to poorly designed frontend-backend communication.
- Nerds.Family - A site for programming courses.
- Vibemetrics - A service that gives employees a voice.
- VAS Valuation Group - UK valuation company.
- LinkedIn: Witek Piotr
