Polish Clojure advocate and conference speaker, recurring at wroclove.rb every two years. Originally a Ruby back-end developer. Gave a 2015 wroclove.rb talk on discovering ClojureScript and React for front-end work, a 2017 wroclove.rb talk on building back-ends with Clojure + immutable data structures and clojure.spec as an alternative to type checkers, and a RubyConf Tel Aviv talk on replacing databases with immutable data flow. At wroclove.rb 2019 presented 'Spice up your life with eql' on building APIs with Pathom. At wroclove.rb 2022 gave a lightning talk framing FP and DDD as naming problems, and the main-stage 'Grokking FP For The Practicing Rubyist' based on Eric Normand's Grokking Simplicity. Known for the quip that 'view = function of data' makes front-end development pleasant.
