Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMiłosz Smółka is a Co-Founder and hands-on engineer with 11 years of experience building and scaling backend systems, developer trainings, and open-source tooling from Poland and Queensland. He specializes in Go, event-driven architectures, DDD, CQRS and infrastructure-as-code, having led backend teams and introduced Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD and monitoring stacks in multiple companies. As co-founder of Three Dots Labs he created the Watermill library and practical training courses like "Go in One Evening," and contributes example applications that demonstrate real-world DDD and deployment patterns. His open-source work includes practical improvements to projects like Packer and Watermill, focusing on Azure integration, CI/CD modernization and reproducible deployment pipelines. Known for translating complex domains into producible software, he pairs deep technical craft with teaching — often turning lessons learned into training material and blog posts. An interesting detail: beyond code he launched a niche consumer service (Amp In Cloud) that reflects his inclination to prototype product ideas end-to-end.
