Szymon Janota is a pragmatically minded software engineer with a decade of experience building back-end systems, DevOps pipelines and user-facing interfaces across cloud-native, IoT and telecom domains. He thrives on shipping stakeholder value rather than chasing specific technologies, having worked from custom TCP protocols to React front-ends and Kubernetes controllers. As a contributor to the Kyma project he improved API controller resilience and Istio integrations, blending code-level fixes with deployment/configuration changes. His time as a Scrum Master sharpened his focus on continuous feedback, prioritization of the Most Important Thing, and reducing waste while lifting team performance. Comfortable leading remote teams and cross-functional integrations, he pairs hands-on implementation skills in Go, Scala and Java with practical coaching and mentoring. Based in Katowice, Poland, he brings a restless curiosity—believing every new technology reshapes how you solve problems—to deliver clear, maintainable solutions.
