Summary
Rafał Wokacz is a pragmatic software engineer with over 12 years of professional experience and more than two decades of hands-on coding experience, currently consulting at SoftwareMill from Łódź, Poland. He has repeatedly moved legacy systems to modern SaaS and microservice architectures, building REST and Java SDK APIs, dashboards, and CI/CD pipelines deployed on AWS and Kubernetes. His background spans full-stack Java development, big data workflows with Spark/Hadoop, containerization, and search/datastore technologies like Elasticsearch, Postgres and MongoDB. Rafał combines day-to-day coding and bugfixing with system design and team enablement—introducing Scrum, deployment pipelines, and branching/build practices across multiple organizations. He’s comfortable in both brownfield migrations and greenfield SaaS from-scratch efforts, often focusing on making complex functionality self-service and operable. An early Linux sysadmin and longtime advocate of practical DevOps, he brings a strong operational sensibility to architecture and delivery.
