Summary
Jan Polowinski is a freelance software developer and PhD-trained knowledge visualization researcher based in Dresden with 12 years of experience building web and data-integration systems. He combines deep expertise in knowledge graphs, semantic technologies and visualization with practical work on research data management and linked open library data from roles at TU Dresden and SLUB. He now offers consultancy and development for projects—particularly in open data, open science and physiotherapy—often at reduced rates for non-profits, social or ecological ventures. Jan sees technology primarily as a tool to combat information overload and restore trust in facts, and he’s actively seeking co-founders and partners for Open Physio, a transparent training-plan and knowledge platform. His background uniquely blends academic rigor with hands-on engineering, making him adept at turning complex semantic problems into usable, visual solutions.
