Senior backend and cloud engineer
Iām Wojciech Kocik, a software engineer with commercial experience across backend development, AWS infrastructure, and product delivery. My strongest stack is Kotlin, Java, Spring, Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform, and PostgreSQL.
Professional Summary
I have spent almost half my life building commercial software šØš»āš», mostly around backend systems, distributed services, production support, and cloud delivery.
I work best where engineering needs to stay practical: shaping requirements into implementable solutions, reviewing code, operating services, and helping teams ship reliably.
My current day-to-day work is focused on backend engineering, microservices, Kotlin, Java, Spring, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, SQL, and PostgreSQL.
I also use AI tools to boost productivity in day-to-day engineering work, especially for research, implementation support, and faster iteration.
