Maja (she/her)

Senior Software Engineer

I started my adventure with coding when I was a teenager and I wanted to post my Harry Potter fanfiction somewhere, and decided to create my own website for it. When I was a teenager, I decided I want to move to the UK from Poland, to attend university to learn more about Computer Science. I have been in the industry since, currently working for a big retail company, leading a squad of engineers of various levels. I love the satisfaction I feel when I solve complicated issues and bugs, either by myself or in my team. I also enjoy the fact that I can see people in public use the products I have worked on, it gives me a sense of pride. I think career in tech is worthwhile for anyone, as there is a vast variety of roles one can take up in it, matching one's abilities and interests. It's often also a profession thats fairly profitable and flexible, and has a strong sense of community that you can rely on.
