Senior backend and cloud engineer

I’m 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 šŸ‘ØšŸ»ā€šŸ’», 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.

About Me

šŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Wojciech Kocik.

Computers have always been my hobby. I have always liked understanding how things work šŸ‘€ and that mindset still drives how I approach software, systems, and delivery.

Outside work I enjoy being a dad šŸ‘¦šŸ», travelling āœˆļø, fast cars šŸš™, mountain biking šŸšµļø, and skiing ā›·ļø. Healthy work-life balance matters to me.
