Hi, I'm Mateusz

I’m a software engineer currently working at Creotech Instruments focusing mostly on Backend and DevOps in which I’m most interested in.

I hold a Master’s degree in Software, Business Processes, and Database Engineering, earned at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology.

Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace and Satellite Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology, which gave me a solid technical foundation and a unique interdisciplinary perspective.

Tech Stack

I have hands-on experience with the following technologies:

Setup

I use Arch Linux as my main operating system. In my opinion, it provides a much better environment for software development compared to Windows due to its flexibility and community-driven nature. Although I’ve considered trying MacOS in the future, I haven’t had the chance to try it yet.

Previously, I utilized the i3 window manager, but I recently switched to vanilla GNOME. Its simplicity, user-friendly design, and ability to work seamlessly “out of the box” won me over. For those interested, my configuration files can be found in my public dotfiles repository on GitHub.

Work

At my current position, in addition to other responsibilities, I have the opportunity to collaboratively manage (with my amazing team) the on-premises infrastructure for our internal solutions. This has been an incredible learning experience, as it allowed me to deepen my knowledge in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Linux administration, and DevOps practices.

Switching entirely to Linux on my personal computer was undoubtedly influenced by managing Linux systems at work and by the guidance of my team leader, a true Linux enthusiast. Thanks to his mentorship, I’ve grown to appreciate the flexibility, power, and elegance of Linux systems.
