Speaking

I like meeting people and discussing IT related topics.

I speak at conferences and meetups and actively participate in their organization, including Testwarez, TestingCup conferences and TrójQA meetup among others.

I also run postgraduate studies on Software Testing at the WSB University in Gdańsk, sharing my knowledge and experience with hundreds of people interested in developing their career in this area.
