Wojciech Wais is a pragmatic software consultant with 11 years of experience solving full-stack and embedded problems across set-top boxes, Android TV, and Linux-based systems. He blends low-level C/C++ and kernel troubleshooting with higher-level Java and Android work, favoring root-cause analysis and practical refactoring over language-specific dogma. At Red Embedded and Nokia he drove reliability improvements through testing, postmortems, and Clean Code-driven refactors, turning legacy code into maintainable assets. His open-source contributions to security-focused projects like ockam show a hands-on interest in cryptography, telemetry, and safe FFI/NIF integrations. Based in Lower Silesia, Poland, he pairs mechatronics and computer science training with a “can-do” engineering mindset that prioritizes the big picture and durable solutions.
