About me

My name is Kamil, and I have been professionally involved in tech and IT since 2015. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at VirtusLab where me and my colleagues are developing a distributed system within the freight forwarding domain using Lightbend Stack. Since I started working there I had a pleasure to twice be a speaker at BUGinnings in IT meetup.

ING Tech Poland was a place where I seriously kicked-off my professional career: I started while I was still a student, became a Senior Software Engineer and eventually a Domain (Enterprise) Architect.
I tried my hand there at being an internal ING Tech Academy trainer - Scala, Functional Programming, Pair Programming; and spoke at ING meeTech #18 meetup - Rust language. Co-organized and organized two editions of an internal hackathon. I was an active member of internal (ING) and external communities, have an experience being a Scrum Master.

My professional hard skills mainly revolve around JVM-related topics and solutions, but I remain open-minded to learning other technologies. Here is a list of what I feel the most comfortable with:

• Programming languages: Scala, Kotlin, Rust, Java
• Frameworks: Akka (Lightbend Stack), Spring Boot
• Data processing: Apache Spark
• Databases: Elasticsearch, Cassandra, SQL
• Cloud: Azure & Azure DevOps, Google Cloud Platform, OpenShift
• Other: Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kafka, Docker, RHEL
• Concepts: DDD, ETL, Actor Model, DevOps
• and more…

Today, I focus my efforts on functional programming and mastering Rust programming language. I also test my skill with competitive coding and broaden my knowledge about neural networks.

Whenever I am able to, I contribute to Open Source projects I use as well as share my own works, so feel free to check my GitHub (github.com/fineconstant) account.
Playing electric guitar and bass, music theory are my main hobbies. I always keep trying to learn new things and share my ideas, so that’s what I want to write about on this blog. You can expect to see posts on all related topics that I have mentioned above.
