I'm an applications and web developer living in Poland, working for
Toronto-based IT consulting company Flux
Inc. I work with open source software a lot, occasionally fixing bugs
and giving back to the community. I had a short romance with Psychology, but
ultimately it were the computers that I've spent the most time with.
Work
My profesional career began only three years ago, but those three years
were quite enough to get me involved in some interesting projects. From
corporate software to medical environments; from web applications to
desktop gui apps and network server clusters.
Open source
Every developer sometimes finds a bug or a missing feature in the tool
that he's using. Sure, you can wait and hope that someone else fixes it,
but with open source it's often best to fix it yourself.
Blog for devs
After the documentation and guides, blogs are the next most important
source of information for every coder. While manuals describe how stuff
should work, blogs document common pitfalls and often provide
immediate solutions.
