Bio
My name is Tom Bakowski, and I am a seasoned Senior Software Engineer based in the vibrant city of London. With over ten years of practical experience in coding, I have cultivated my skills to attain a high level of proficiency and expertise. I have contributed to a myriad of successful projects, through which I have tuned my capabilities to produce and deliver effective, high-functioning code.
My progression into the professional realm began with a self-driven dive into the digital world, where I immersed myself in a wide variety of programming languages, frameworks, and technologies. Landing my first full-time position in the UK at Omniquad marked a significant milestone in my career. This role deepened my natural inclination towards continuous learning and development, greatly enhanced by the insights, knowledge, and constructive feedback received from my colleagues.
The experience gained at Omniquad was instrumental in propelling me into my subsequent full-stack role at Akkroo. Time spent there proved to be a crucial period of growth in my programming career, as I navigated increasingly complex tasks and integrated into large, interdisciplinary teams. Engaging in several high-stakes projects allowed me to refine my skills and solidify my expertise, ultimately leading to a level of seniority in the field of software engineering.
Akkroo's merger with Integrate was a pivotal point in my career, providing me with unique opportunities to broaden my technical expertise within global development teams. Over several years at Integrate, I ascended through the ranks, culminating in a position as a Team Lead, and ultimately, a Staff Engineer.
However, my professional journey doesn't stop here. I am actively seeking new opportunities that will allow me to further expand my competencies as a developer and share my accumulated skills and knowledge. I am eager to contribute to new or existing projects, learn from challenges, and continue to grow and develop in this ever-evolving field.
