Summary
Jakub Chrobasik is a Lead Engineer with 11 years of professional experience specializing in Scala and Java, currently shaping data-driven products at Quantexa. He is a pragmatic functional-programming advocate who has led teams building microservices, event-driven systems, and reproducible data science tooling using Cats-Effect, FS2, http4s and Akka Streams. His background spans government and enterprise projects—from digital citizen services and visa/payment systems to large-scale loyalty and integration platforms—where he consistently emphasized maintainability, testing, and pragmatic architecture. Jakub pairs hands-on implementation (libraries, CLI tools, JSON-LD support) with practical leadership: tech decisions, QA, planning and cross-team communication. He also brings deep experience in introducing safer patterns (TDD, pair programming, event-driven processing) into legacy environments to reduce risk and improve velocity. Based in Waverley, UK, he combines strong problem-solving with a history of shipping robust, well-tested services in regulated and production-critical contexts.
