Hi, I'm Kamil Ludwinski
Software Engineer
with 8+ years of backend and 3+ years of frontend experience
Specialising in developer tooling, CI/CD automation, and testability, with a focus on building efficient, reliable, and maintainable engineering workflows.
About Me
I'm Kamil — originally from Zagórzany, Poland, living in London, UK since 2014.
My programming journey began in 2003 with Ceebot, a space-colonisation game that taught me the basics of logic and automation. From there, I was hooked, diving into Pascal and basic C++.
I enjoy puzzles and building systems from scratch — sometimes (okay, often) re-inventing the wheel just to truly understand how it works under the hood.
Exploring new technologies is what keeps me on my toes. I believe it provides a broader perspective and more creative ways to solve complex engineering problems.
My Companions
I am the owner of two bunnies: Frosti (the one with the white nose) and Spooky.
Frosti, as a senior, handles hay requests. Spooky mostly excels at reviewing power cables and hiding under the table.
