About

I build things for the web - and sometimes just for fun.

Jakub Kwarcinski in Krakow

Over the years, I have grown from crafting pure HTML and CSS interfaces to building scalable enterprise applications. That early focus on the details still shapes how I approach every product.

Today, I work primarily with Angular and TypeScript, designing maintainable frontend architecture, complex state management and real-time applications for high-performance trading environments. I care equally about clean code and interfaces that feel natural to use.

Outside work, I keep exploring through indie game development, home recording and small geeky projects that make me curious enough to build them. When I step away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me road cycling, playing board games or video games, listening to music, or enjoying culture in all its forms — from the highbrow to the wonderfully lowbrow.

Skills

A focused toolkit for complex frontend work.

I value technology that helps teams build quickly, maintain confidently and deliver interfaces people enjoy using.

Core expertise

AI-assisted workflow

Home recording

Short songs were never really the plan.

My home recordings live somewhere between progressive rock, layered Porcupine Tree-inspired soundscapes and the kind of melancholic atmosphere that makes Opeth records feel strangely comforting.
