Summary
Tomasz Tomczyk is a pragmatic, product-focused Staff Engineer in London with 14 years of experience building and scaling web platforms and developer teams. He combines hands-on Elixir/Phoenix and React development with architecture, security and performance improvements—recently cutting DB CPU usage from ~99% to ~40% and hardening codebase security. As a former Head of Engineering, he grew a distributed team from 3 to 12, ran two reorganisations toward autonomous product teams, and promotes technical leadership while remaining ~50% hands-on. He excels at turning user research and data into prioritized roadmaps and customer-facing features, often working directly with enterprise clients to iterate on solutions. Tomasz is as comfortable mentoring and hiring as he is shipping code and shaping infrastructure (Kubernetes, CI/CD), showing a rare blend of people-first leadership and operational engineering.
