I have spent last 15 years of my life in IT working as database and system administrator, developer, architect, manager and "on site disaster engineer ". At the moment I work as chief architect in Lumesse, European HR SaaS solution provider.
I was involved in small, medium and horribly and nonsense large systems, from "waterfall" through Agile to "no methodology" methodology. It all lead me to conclusion that it doesn't matter what you do as long as you do it right, keep it simple and use the right tool to do the job for you. In the meantime I fell in love it TDD, Software Craftmanship and beautiful and simple ideas like REST, JavaScript and NOSQL. I also spent a lot of time exploring ideas like system thinking, system dynamics, strange attractor and complexity theory. From time to time you can hear my low quality jokes about architecture at conferences in Poland. I am also trying to make a world a better place as member of SSEEP and blog author at http://geekyprimitives.com.
