Wojciech Kotlarski is a seasoned software engineering leader and CTO based in Berlin with over 20 years of experience turning complex platforms and organizations into scalable, efficient systems. He progresses from hands-on developer to executive by combining deep .NET/C# expertise with a pragmatic focus on CI/CD, observability, testing, and automation to boost team productivity and reduce operating costs. Wojciech has repeatedly led platform transformations—shaping team ownership, delivery practices, and infrastructure-as-code—while staying directly involved in architecture and implementation. He founded the LightBDD open-source testing framework, reflecting a long-term commitment to behavioural testing and developer ergonomics. Known for driving measurable performance and cost improvements, he also blends product-minded leadership with practical change management across distributed and nearshore teams. Outside work he’s a PC games fan, which often informs his interest in performant, user-focused systems.
