Tomasz is a great developer and a great person. Surely one of the most talented people I've worked with. Variety of skills, quick adaptation to new projects' and platforms' requirements and good sense of humor. Yeah, that last thing is important – work with him is not only an optimal professional experience, but also it's fun 🙂 I can honestly recommend to have Tomasz on board.

Maciej Wdowiak, Associate Producer and QA/Porting Manager @ SUPERHOT

I worked with Tomasz at SUPERHOT for more than 2 years. During this time he proved to be a valuable teammate and a great friend. On multiple occasions he impressed me with variety of skills and an exceptional ability of quick adaptation to any environment, platform or technology. He was often assigned with the most challenging tasks - simply because there was no doubt that he will find the best solution. He is passionate, dedicated and easy to work with, regardless of whether it is remote or on site collaboration.

Piotr Kulla, VR Programmer @ SUPERHOT

‍I worked with Tomasz on multiple porting projects at Klabater. He is an incredibly dedicated and patient developer ready to adjust to the organization's needs on the go and he does so flawlessly in both on-site and remote environments. I was impressed by his ability to quickly adapt to new processes and communicate clearly throughout the organization. Additionally, his sense of humour and unprecedented meme-generating abilities made working with him both a fun and productive experience. Bonus points for bringing his awesome dog to the office.

I keep very fond memories of Tomasz's work and overall personality. He was in fact assigned to bug fixes and to assist me with developing Localization on the SUPERHOT titles and he did so with great enthusiasm, unprecedented patience and absolute professionalism. I strongly recommend him for any position as a Programmer / Software Developer and secretly wish we would work again together some day!

Who am I?

After work I come back to my little family, that is always waiting for me with smiles, hugs and wagging tails.

They inspire me to aim high.

We spend a lot of time together, taking long walks, meeting our friends for board games and rewatching comic book movies and TV series.

When I need some time alone, I usually relax listening to music and worldbuilding.

While not working, I still try to be productive. In my free time I create my own prototypes and projects for fun.

Expressing my creativity is the biggesty joy of my life and I feel very lucky to have a job that I truly love and enjoy.

I was born in Olsztyn, Poland. Playing video games has been my favourite hobby since I was 4 and saw my father play Wolfenstein on our old PC. He was the one who inspired my love for the medium and showed me my favourite childhood games. We played together for many hours. We even had a common World of Warcraft account for 8 years.

I was 10 when I began creating my first games, using Game Maker and RPG Maker. I started to learn real programming in high school by creating simple websites using HTML and console apps using C++.
‍

I studied Computer Science, with Computer Simulation and Games Technology specialization for three years on Politechnika Lodzka. During studies I learnt a lot about IT, including C#, Unity Engine, C++, OpenGL, SQL, Linux, Arduino and many, many other technologies. I also had to learn a lot about physics and math, including algebra, topology and statistics.

I was also taught a lot about game development from professionals who worked for biggest Polish companies, including CD Projekt RED, Techland and 11 Bit Studios. I took such courses as game story design, game engine programming, animated movies and many more.
