I'm Bart Stefanski — a software engineer working remotely from Poland. I've been writing code since I was 12 and professionally since 2019, mostly around React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and the web-performance work that makes real products feel good.
Today I lead one of the teams at ZEN.COM. Before that I spent four years at Blazity wearing several hats (tech lead, head of engineering, head of open source).
// The path here
// Beyond software
I box, amateur in the gym, and a pretty obsessive fan outside of it. If there's a big fight on, I'm watching it. Also a Lego fan, there's always a set half-built on my shelf.
I'm also genuinely into AI, optimistic about where it's going and paying close attention.
// Dream job
Not actively looking, but always open to hearing about interesting opportunities. What I'm after:
- Autonomy over my work and real decision-making power
- Small teams that move fast
- AI, drone software, edge computing, or anything that feels like a Palantir-type problem
- The company can be big as long as the team isn't
What I'll pass on:
- Software houses, body leasing, outsourcing
- Corporate structures where every decision needs a document and a month of approvals
- If I can't ship something this week because someone hasn't signed off on a Confluence page, it's not for me
If that sounds like your team, reach out.
