ABOUT ME
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon

Got a problem? I will annihilate that problem!

I've been a programmer since childhood and after helping a tech startup succeed in 2020 went on to teach programming and help people like you clear your coding roadblocks.

While I don't know you, remember, I'm a lethal weapon, I will blast your problems and your headache out of your window. For real. That or a full refund. I won't pay for the glass though.

And, if you're a naturally curious person who's interested in how things work and why they work that way, as opposed to only what to do, we'll fit together marvellously!

Merry Christmas!

A language I fell in love with that later broke my heart (unfortunately no space to share that story here). Recently I built and maintained a project of around ~60k lines of code in the financial industry. Before that Rust was my go-to language for 3 years for both work and personal projects. Here's some stuff I made with it: - A project of over 60k lines of code that is deployed and runs live in the financial industry - A game console emulator based on CHIP-8 and made for teaching purposes - The entire backend of the distributed computing platform for Cumulus1 - More Web APIs with Actix than I can remember - A cryptocurrency trading bot - An efficient immediate-mode GUI library that used NanoVG (a vector graphics library written in C) as a backend

Python is my current go-to for most ad-hoc projects. I use it daily for both personal projects and at work. It has never let me down. It's been primarily useful for ML, web development, and automation. Here's some stuff I made with it: - Machine learning models in TensorFlow at a high level - ML models replacing high-level TF with Numpy and raw math where TF wasn't enough - Countless Web APIs and server applications (usually paired with a React-based front) - Card generation for learning Mandarin Chinese using Anki SRS - Advent of Code 2020 challenge (streamed to YouTube, code is on my Github) - A top-secret serverless application based on AWS SAM - Rep - my time logging CLI tool for freelance work - Automation scripts for our Dev OPS processes and ad-hoc needs (work) - A bunch of internal data analysis tools (work)

A clean and efficient language that reminds us of what life used to be like when we walked around with clubs and lived in caves. Of course, that's a joke. C is one of my favourite languages, it's fast and close to the hardware. I use it mostly for fun and personal projects: - An economy simulator based on Perfectly Competitive markets - A GameBoy emulator - Advent of Code 2019 challenge (code is on my GitHub) - Memory allocators, expression parsers, algorithms, benchmarks, stuff like this

My first programming language. I taught it to myself as a kid to make video games, which started off my programming adventure. Here's some stuff I made with it: - An electronic school diary system for my former high school - An application for encrypting and decrypting text using traditional text-based cyphers (Playfair, Vigenere, etc.) - An Asteroids game to learn text rendering from Signed Distance Fields based on Valve's method used in the Source engine (CS, TF2, L2D, Portal) - A bunch of work-related GUI applications

JavaScript was the first language I used at work after C++ and PHP and oh boy did it give me a lot of headaches. I implemented Web APIs, backends, frontends, hybrid apps, just about everything. If you've got a JS headache, I want you to know: that's perfectly normal and there's no need to seek medic... er, that maybe (just maybe) I can help.

A Linux user since kid-years beginning with Ubuntu 8.04 in 2008, I used Linux on and off as a daily driver. Professionally I've mostly been managing servers and software deployments on Linux and occasionally helping with things I just happened to know from using it at home.

Very helpful session. Wojciech walked through and resolved all the errors and warnings in my Rust code and also made numerous suggestions for potential structural improvements going forward. Would definitely use him again if I run into other Rust problems down the road.

Cumulus1 is a successful tech startup based in the UK. We transitioned from delivering a distributed computing platform to a virtual desktop platform under the DaaS model this year. I was the technical lead during the development of our distributed platform and later transitioned to consulting where I look at new ways to help grow the company.

ASC is a software agency based in London. We successfully served many types of clients by developing software from web applications through 3D visualizations to distributed systems. The company employs only a handful of people so I filled multiple roles: Software Engineer, Project Manager and Technical Lead (when on a team) on an as-needed basis. It was chaotic but in the end, we still delivered results.
