Summary
Paweł Ptaszyński is a pragmatic software engineer with 18 years of experience building scalable backend and data platforms across industries from telecoms to fintech and mobility. He blends deep Scala, Spark and distributed-systems expertise with hands‑on roles in architecture, team leadership and product-facing delivery, currently focusing on data platform engineering and agentic AI systems. Notable projects include evolving Bolt’s platform from warehouse to lakehouse architectures and high-throughput Spark streaming at Citi, demonstrating strong cost-aware and operational thinking. He pairs system-level design with full-stack fluency—Java, Python, TypeScript and cloud-native tooling—to deliver solutions that meet real business needs.
