My name is Jacek Królikowski, I studied Computer Science at the University of Warsaw and worked as a software engineer at Microsoft and a number of startups (including my own) in London and Warsaw.
I’m a backend engineer with 10+ years of experience in designing and building pragmatic solutions across a variety of tech stacks and differently-sized organisations. I’m passionate about functional programming, antifragile systems, and taking the right approach to the task at hand.
I’m always happy to chat about software/hardware engineering, maker culture, dawless music making, and BJJ.

Why “almost done”?#
Back when I first created the blog I had a nasty habit of starting projects and abandoning them once I solved the hard part of the problem :D
I have since made a point of finishing what I started, so now I like to think of “almost done” as a metaphor for a software project’s life cycle. To misquote Bjarne Stroustrup:
The only truly finished projects are the ones nobody uses
