Design Engineer.
I build the whole thing.

I design web interfaces and build the backend systems that power them. Formerly a commercial photographer, I transitioned into full-stack engineering and have spent 15 years building and running digital businesses. Based in Warsaw, I operate studio infrastructure through Oken Solutions Ltd (UK), engineering custom web architecture, scaling live product ecosystems, and building autonomous tools.
