About Me

I was born in Poland, lived in Canada all my life, and am now living in the United States with my wife in a house we own, which is literally surrounded by farm land. If it wasn't for the hot summer and bugs, I would be working more outside on my ThinkPad laptop (love how sturdy it is) in my backyard overlooking a cow pasture with the occasional "moo" coming just 50 feet away.

I have Crohn's Disease, though my flare ups are nothing compared to some unlucky individuals, and aside from having to run occasionally to the washroom, I feel perfectly fine, and even that does not intefere with my work thanks to a laptop. If anything, I believe the disease has taught me quite a few things about life and compassion, and I don't wish that I never had it, just wish I didn't have it anymore.

What I do

Quite often I have a hard time explaining what exactly I do in a few words, as I dabble in everything tech related, as that is where my passion lies. If I had to choose just one title to describe what I do, it would have to be a software developer, as it seems to be my most marketable skill. Here is a full list of things that could fit:

• Programmer
• Server Administrator
• Database Adminstrator
• Design Slicer
• Optimizer
• Cleaning Up Messes

Cleaning up seems to be a very reoccuring thing I do, as companies will come to me to fix things and make everything more stable. This is essentially where I shine, as I am able to pick up big projects fairly quickly with a very small learning curve compared to most, and fix it, which sometimes has me rewrite huge poritions of a system in the end for optimal results.

I am also capable of designing, developing and implementing whole systems/sites from the hardware level (piecing servers from parts), to the front end where I will make sure the site runs as fast as possible/feasible, and the best part is that I take great pride in it.

Lastly, I am also capable of implementing and developing new technologies. I believe that there is nothing we can not do today with the internet, there is always a way, even if we have to modify the kernel or server software (apache/mysql/PHP).
