Tomasz Kowalczewski
When I finished playing with code at university I took my baby steps in real word working on an airline system that processed thousands of transactions per second. There was no turning back and I become hooked on creating multithreaded, high volume and latency sensitive backend services. It turned out that these require as much profiling, optimizing and GC tuning as applying basic good design practices. Right now I work at a small polish startup company where I help create cloud based real time big data processing backend for our services. I like to explore JVM’s inner workings, GC algorithms and all things mechanical sympathy. I also believe that Java is not yet finished and I tried to prove it presenting lambda expressions on few conferences.

Włodek Krakowski
Włodek Krakowski has been a software craftsman for 13+ years. Recently he joined Lumesse in Krakow as an Application Architect and before this he spent 9 years in Sabre growing there from Junior to Team Lead Developer. During this time he was observing struggles of teams he belonged to with delivering software for clients. What he noticed was a “complaints approach” to many things (like delays, lack of TDD, good design) and putting responsibility for this onto the other side (business vs development). For some time he decided to focus on “what I can do to change it”. As he is developer he focused on teaching people refactoring code what was his role for the last 2 year. He focused on refactoring with given goal, not refactoring for refactoring. The goals were different : extendibility, separation of concerns, testability, maintainability or just readability which is core of each software but always with “the end in mind”.

Jarosław Pałka
I have spent last 15 years of my life in IT working as database and system administrator, developer, architect, manager and "on site disaster engineer ". At the moment I work as chief architect in Lumesse, European HR SaaS solution provider.
I was involved in small, medium and horribly and nonsense large systems, from "waterfall" through Agile to "no methodology" methodology. It all lead me to conclusion that it doesn't matter what you do as long as you do it right, keep it simple and use the right tool to do the job for you. In the meantime I fell in love it TDD, Software Craftmanship and beautiful and simple ideas like REST, JavaScript and NOSQL. I also spent a lot of time exploring ideas like system thinking, system dynamics, strange attractor and complexity theory. From time to time you can hear my low quality jokes about architecture at conferences in Poland. I am also trying to make a world a better place as member of SSEEP and blog author at http://geekyprimitives.com.
