Summary
Olaf Górski is a pragmatic senior Python engineer with 10 years of experience building and scaling data-intensive web applications and APIs, who increasingly blends technical craft with product ownership and team leadership. He has led teams of up to 10 people and shipped production-grade systems—from ETL at scale to a company-wide generative AI conversational solution that kicked off an $8B firm's AI initiative. Comfortable across the stack (Python, Django, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure, vector DBs and LLM tooling), he treats code as a problem-solving tool and prioritizes evidence-driven product decisions over engineering for its own sake. He mentors juniors, runs performance reviews, and has hands-on experience translating competitive analysis into product strategy and sales enablement. A habitual writer and blogger (grski.pl), he mixes stoic practicality with a curiosity for functional-programming ideas and the human dynamics of scaling teams.
