Me during my bachelor party with my cherished car aflame in the background. The image encapsulates the essence of staying calm and finding joy, even amidst challenges and unexpected events. 🔥😊

Hi there! I spent 8 incredible years as a motion graphics designer, where I honed my leadership skills as a team lead for three of those years. In 2022, I made a commercial transition to the tech world. However, my love for programming dates back to when I was just 13 years old. From building webpages, CMS and forums, to modifying games, my curiosity in the tech realm has always been relentless.

Now, I'm deeply immersed in full-stack and backend development. My expertise primarily lies in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and JavaScript. I'm passionate about the benefits of TDD and CI/CD, and I'm always eager to learn more each day.

Currently, I'm working alongside some incredibly talented folks at Visuality.

A few fun facts about me:

• 🌍 I have an insatiable wanderlust and love traveling the world in unconventional ways.
• 🐈 Passionate about all creatures great and small, I'm also the proud caretaker of a stray cat named Breena.
• 🎸 In my free time, you might find me strumming a tune on my guitar.
• 🌱 Gardening brings me peace, and I love taking care of my plants.
• 🚗 I enjoy tweaking and fixing cars and motorcycles.
• 🧠 I’m currently deepening my understanding of JavaScript.
• 👯 I’m open to collaborating on anything intriguing!
• 📚 Teaching is another passion of mine. Lately, I've been investing my efforts to train an enthusiastic super junior developer: my wife, Kaja.

I love to meet like-minded individuals and engage in enriching discussions. You can usually find me at:

• PLRUG Warsaw Meetups
• Ruby Warsaw Community Conference
• Wroclove.rb Conference

I gave a lightning talk about:

• "Replace Frontend Developer with Ruby Junior and Hotwire". In this talk, I shared my story about my first big job: removing React and using Rails and Hotwire instead. It showed how easy and helpful it is to use Hotwire with Rails.
• Parameter Conflicts in Rails: URL vs. Body - Here, I describe a bug that occurred due to poorly designed frontend-backend communication.

• Debugging Rails - Ruby Junior Chronicles

• Nerds.Family - A site for programming courses.
• Vibemetrics - A service that gives employees a voice.
• VAS Valuation Group - UK valuation company.

• LinkedIn: Witek Piotr
