Mateusz Gorzeliński

Mateusz Gorzeliński is a gamer and school nerd that turned into a software engineer. His earliest memories are bound to electronics. Every time he heard the iconic PlayStation startup sound, he thought he was going through the portal to another digital galaxy (and was nervous if his disc would not freeze). The galaxy absorbed him back then, and after 20 years, he is still enchanted by it.

He was a strange kid who liked math at school. This math and electronics combo ended up in engineering studies about electronics and telecommunications. At the university, he could solve math and Boolean equations. There was also an opportunity to learn more about programming (micro-)processors and networks. He graduated and now can legitimately use phrases like "Trust me, I am an engineer" and "works for me."

Still at the university, he took an interest in web development and wrote a thesis about front-end frameworks. The thesis is most likely outdated now, like JS frameworks every 6 months, but his knowledge is not. After 5+ years, he still learns about web dev every day and puts on different hats while developing it. He designs, codes, and writes content for technical docs and blogs using Jamstack architecture and good old pen and paper.

If he does not work, he learns, hits the gym, walks, watches memes, consumes media and coffee, or thinks hard about cognitive biases. He might also hit the quarter-year crisis because he bought a carbon road bike to make trips along the countryside and is thinking about beet cultivation.
