Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSzymon Stefanek is a lead software engineer based in Tuscany with nearly two decades of hands-on experience delivering everything from compilers and IDE-like editors to embedded firmware and neural-network object detectors. He excels at taking ambiguous problems, researching the domain, and designing end-to-end solutions—then implementing and delivering them in detail. A prolific contractor and freelance engineer, he has repeatedly shipped cross-platform UI toolkits, medical-device software, mobile apps, web stacks and accounting systems across startups and established firms. He is also an active open-source contributor to the widely used universal-ctags project, where he strengthened the C++ parser to handle templates, inline variables and complex signatures. Colleagues rely on him for both deep low-level systems work and pragmatic product-focused engineering, and he brings a rare blend of language/compiler expertise and practical delivery experience.
