Jakub Mikos

Hello there! I am a seasoned Product Developer and technology enthusiast with a rich background in Full Stack and DevOps Engineering. I have a particular affinity for TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, C#, with a budding interest in Python.

Over my eight-year professional journey, I have honed my skills in Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Lean Development, and dabbled extensively in numerous frameworks such as Angular, React, ExpressJs, WPF, ASP.NET, Xamarin, and Unity. My toolbelt includes Webstorm, VS Code, and VS Studio, among others.

As a recent Tech Lead at Pazz, Munich, my passion for strategic planning and product development bore fruit as I led initiatives that resulted in 15,000 new users and a threefold increase in user engagement. I am proud of my contributions to server and database migrations, as well as building up and mentoring a development team from scratch.

Previously, as a Senior Fullstack Developer, I had the chance to delve into innovative areas, creating a state-of-the-art headless XMPP adapter and developing encryption-based solutions for a distributed database system. In the quest for better performance, I extended the database with custom Join and Query logic, leading to a whopping 500% improvement in query speed.

Outside of my professional life, I am a loving father, a supportive husband, and a video game enthusiast. I am committed to continuous learning and personal growth, and my dream is to contribute significantly to a product that becomes a household name. I thrive in roles that offer the potential for high product impact, aligning with my experience, and satisfying the needs of the company.

I am excited to share my journey, thoughts, and insights with you through this blog!
