Software Engineer at Taxamo a Vertex Inc. Company
Queensland, Poland
Summary
👤
SeniorMateusz Probachta is a versatile full-stack software engineer with 12 years of experience, currently contributing at Taxamo (Vertex) from Queensland while favoring functional programming—especially Clojure—alongside Python and JavaScript. He has held leadership and hands-on roles including CTO at LiveKid and has strong commercial experience with Clojure/ClojureScript, JVM stacks, Postgres, Redis, and message queues. Mateusz is pragmatic about engineering quality, advocating TDD, continuous delivery and test automation, and brings practical experience refactoring and extending open-source tooling (notably enhancing the py3status i3status wrapper). His background spans frontend and backend systems, blockchain and cryptography experiments, and production-grade Python services, reflecting a taste for readable code and collaborative idea-sharing. An uncommon strength is his comfort moving between paradigms and languages—Go and Rust included—so he’s as likely to prototype in Clojure as to harden a Python service for scale.
