Summary
Radek Tkaczyk is a Senior Scala Developer with 11 years of professional experience, based in Warsaw, specializing in high-quality, scalable backend systems and microservices. He has a long history with Scala (since 2012) and has delivered production-critical work across finance, blockchain, and fraud-detection domains using technologies like Akka, ZIO, Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes and PostgreSQL. At IOHK he implemented an Ethereum Virtual Machine for Mantis and contributed to rigorously tested, audited open-source blockchain clients and testnets, blending research-led development with production deployment. Radek is comfortable migrating legacy side-effecting code to purely functional designs, writing formal specifications, and collaborating closely with DevOps on reproducible deployments using Nix, Terraform and AWS. He brings a quality-first mindset demonstrated by systematic testing, RFC-driven design, and recurring roles in code review and technical recruitment. An understated strength is his ability to operate autonomously across time zones while mentoring peers and improving engineering processes.
