About Me

Throughout my career, I've grown alongside the evolution of video games. As a child, I was captivated by arcade games and home consoles like the NES and Sega Saturn. With the rise of PCs and new console generations, I discovered the depth and artistry of video games, which quickly became my lifelong passion.

My youth was also shaped by a deep engagement with pop culture, especially board games and classic RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. I had the chance to contribute to supplements and narratives for Polish RPGs like Neuroshima and Wolsung, which helped me build my understanding of interactive mediums.

I extended my study and exploration of games to a YouTube channel, where I shared my passion, analyzed different genres, and explored various design solutions. This led to a collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment in promoting Overwatch.

In the game development industry, I have held roles as a Project Manager, Producer, and Game Designer. I've managed teams of over a dozen people and designed both entire games and specific systems. My work has involved creating narrative elements, puzzles, and balancing gameplay mechanics. A highlight of my career was joining the team behind Medieval Dynasty, a very well-received game with numerous dedicated fans.

Despite many years in the field, games remain not only my profession but also a source of immense passion, one I approach with unwavering enthusiasm and curiosity.
