Who writes this?

Hello, I'm Przemek! I’m a Software Engineer based in Paris 🇫🇷. Some current and past projects:

• 💻 I’ve been a Software Engineer at Google for the last 12 years. So far I got to work on a web browser, a distributed data store and an operating system. Currently working on Fuchsia and smart home devices.

• 🏆 I co-created Hash Code as a side project @ Google and led the engineering team that scaled it up to over 120k contestants, the biggest team programming competition in the world.

• 🔬 Before Google, I led the Image Recognition team at Adaptive Vision, since then acquired and rebranded as Zebra Aurora Vision

I like hiking (still thawing after Denali), movies (Paris is the best city in the world to enjoy cinema, #ChangeMyMind) and writing things down to organize my thoughts.
