About

Who I am.

I'm a fullstack developer based in Gdynia, Poland. For over three years, from August 2023 to September 2026, I worked at a local software house, co-building BHPSoft - a SaaS platform used by dozens of companies - and client projects, including the Kraków Airport website.

I run projects end-to-end: from requirements and estimates to deployment and support. Before the software house, I taught kids how to code - which is where I picked up the habit of explaining technical things in plain language.

I now work independently (B2B). After hours: Computer Science at Gdańsk University of Technology and my own SaaS tools. Languages: Polish, English (C1).

How I work
  • Process first, code second. Before proposing anything, I want to understand where the business loses time.
  • Boring technology wins. Laravel, MySQL, Redis - a proven stack that runs for years, instead of architecture for show.
  • No lock-in. Code, access and documentation stay with the client.
  • I say "no" fast. If a project doesn't make sense or I can't do it well - you'll hear it on the first call, not a month in.
What I do

What I help with most often.

Backend, frontend and infrastructure in one pair of hands - no handoffs between departments.

  • Internal apps & admin panelsTools built around your process: document and contract workflows, dashboards - where Excel ends.
  • Bookings & calendarsScheduling and reservation systems for slots or spaces - like the Kraków Airport event module.
  • Company websites on my own CMSPolished sites on my own lightweight CMS - the client manages content alone, no plugins, no licence fees.
  • Web applications in Laravel + VuePHP 8+, REST APIs, Vue 3 / Nuxt / Livewire - the foundation of everything above.
  • Third-party API & AI integrationsOpenAI, chatbots and AI agents (MCP), SOAP, webhooks, partner systems.
  • SaaS platformsFeature flags, per-client modules, many production instances.
  • Legacy modernizationPHP and Laravel upgrades (7.4 → 8.4) on live systems.
  • Infrastructure & maintenanceDocker, CI/CD, testing (PHPUnit / Pest), DNS and email - zero-downtime migrations.

Don't see your case here? Write anyway - most projects mix several of these.

My own products

The shipyard.

After hours I build my own SaaS tools - to walk the whole product road myself, from idea to first invoice. One is already afloat, two are still on the slipways.

  • Afloat

    AI link saver

    A PWA: paste a URL and an AI agent titles, summarizes and categorizes it. Per-link chat and its own MCP server. Docked in a private harbour for now.

  • In progress

    A tool for small service businesses

    Automating the paperwork and repetitive admin that eats owners' hours every single week.

  • Concept

    A developer tool

    A small product solving one concrete problem from web teams' daily work.

I'll announce launches here and on LinkedIn (opens in a new window). And if you have a product idea and need a technical partner - reach out.

FAQ

Before you write.

The questions that come up most often on a first call.

  • How does working together start?

    You write a few sentences about what you need. I usually reply within 24 hours and tell you straight whether I can help. Then a call about the process, an estimate for the scope, delivery and support after launch. I run projects end-to-end, with no handoffs between departments.

  • How much does a project cost?

    There is no off-the-shelf price list, because an estimate depends on scope. I work B2B and invoice with VAT: either a fixed price for a defined scope, or a day rate for longer engagements. You get a range after the first call, before we start building anything.

  • Do you work remotely or on site?

    I am based in Gdynia, Poland and work remotely with clients across the country. On-site meetings in the Tricity area when a project calls for it.

  • What technologies do you work with?

    Backend: PHP 8+ and Laravel, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis. Frontend: Vue 3, Nuxt, Livewire, Inertia. Infrastructure: Docker, CI/CD, tests in PHPUnit and Pest. I pick a proven stack that stays maintainable for years, instead of architecture for show.

  • Will you take over a system built by someone else?

    Yes, that is a common scenario. I have run PHP and Laravel upgrades on live systems, including PHP 7.4 and Laravel 8 to PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12, with no downtime. I start with a review of the code and infrastructure so I can tell you straight what can be saved and what has to be rewritten.

  • Who owns the code after the project ends?

    You do. Code, access and documentation stay with the client. I do not build lock-in and I do not hold projects hostage.

  • How fast do you reply?

    Usually within 24 hours, faster on working days.

  • Do you build AI integrations?

    Yes. Chatbots and AI agents on OpenAI, custom MCP servers, integrations over REST, SOAP and webhooks. At BHPSoft I built three separate AI chatbots: for the admin, the client and the training participant.

  • Do you take ongoing contracts or only one-off projects?

    Both. A single project to deliver, or an ongoing B2B contract with an agreed number of hours.

Contact

Write.

B2B collaboration: a project to deliver or an ongoing contract. VAT invoice, remote or on-site in the Tricity area (Gdynia). Describe what you need in a few sentences - I usually reply within 24 hours and I'll tell you straight whether I can help.
