About Me

photo Rafal Kozlowski

Hi! I am Rafał.
From some time I am preparing for career path change into software engineering. I believe that my engineering education, solid project management and customer relations experience will help me to develop new set of skills quickly and make profound impact on the quality of my work.
I decided for this move because civil engineering industry, that I am currently connected with, and way of life that this industry gave me, does not make me feel fulfilled and satisfied. What is more, I feel like my current job is not as creative as I would like it to be. Since middle school I was learning in classes with informatics profile, but finally my life path took a different turn. Now I decided to turn it into the right direction.
What excites me the most in coding? How fast and simply you can transform the word into visual, dynamic objects. How you can create something out of nothing. How programs, websites and apps makes life easier for people all over the world.
Solving problems and finding new ways to deliver solution gives me a feeling of development, fullfilment and personal growth. That is why I am determined to become the part of IT world.
