About me
I'm Tom, a full-stack developer with 20+ years of experience, based in Cracow, Poland (Opens in new tab). My current focus is the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem (React, Next.js, Node.js), with a solid production background in PHP (Laravel, Lumen, CodeIgniter) and SQL. I work remotely.
Tech stack: My current focus is JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js – this portfolio is built with it. Strong production background in PHP (Laravel, Lumen, CodeIgniter) and SQL. Tools: Tailwind CSS, Vite, Webpack.
What I do:
- Full-stack development: from UI and UX to backend APIs and databases
- Code review & fixes: refactoring, debugging, and cleaning up projects – including code written with AI assistance (Cursor, Copilot, etc.). I help turn prototypes into production-ready systems.
- E‑commerce: checkout flows, payment gateways (PayPal, Przelewy24, PayU), shipping integrations (InPost, DHL)
- Custom systems: CRMs, workflow platforms, photo galleries, booking and registration flows
- REST APIs, integrations with external services (SOAP, JSON, XML, CSV)
- SEO, performance optimization (Lighthouse), accessibility (ARIA, keyboard navigation)
- Server setup and maintenance: Linux, nginx, Apache, MySQL, Redis
I've delivered projects at scale – e‑commerce with tens of thousands of orders, modern React apps, PWA‑ready shops with 10k+ products. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clear, maintainable systems.
In my last role I acted as frontend lead – handling code reviews, technical interviews, and onboarding new developers.
I work well both solo and as a team player – I've been working remotely my whole career, so async communication, clear updates, and self‑driven work are second nature to me.
