About

Welcome. I’m Jakub, and I’m a human1. This is where I write.

I’m an engineering leader, a systems architect, and a generalist tinkerer who transitioned from the physics of lasers and aerial-deployed mesh sensors to the complexity of distributed data platforms and AI. This blog is my laboratory for thinking out loud. Specifically about building high-leverage teams, navigating the AI shift, and shipping software that lasts.

I write primarily because it helps me organize my thoughts, and every so often those ideas can be helpful to others. I hope you’ll find my posts informative, engaging, and valuable.

These are my personal thoughts and opinions, not those of my employer, my friends, my cat, or you.

My thoughts might change over time as I keep an open mind. This blog is like a snapshot of my ideas at different times. Some older posts might not reflect my current views.


  1. My AI usage policy is as follows: I employ LLMs for image generation, spellchecking, and grammar checking, research assistance, searching through my personal highlights and documents, and conversing with my notes. I never use AI to compose the original drafts or generate writing ideas. ↩︎
