Bartek Gatz Product manager on Spartez products. Wears glasses in pink frames. Hangs out with girls a lot (wife and three daughters) but also spends time on amateur carpentry, car mechanics, and his favourite hobby: retro computers from the 80s and 90s. Sławomir Ginter Co-Founder & Non-managing Partner. Never been a CEO nor wanted it. And proud of it. Knows a thing or two about how to write software in a non-messy manner. Craftsmanship, low cost of maintenance vs. cowboy coding and such. You know what it means. You can easily learn from him a lot of under-the -hood stuff about Java, JVM, Scala, functional programming, and why Javascript is the best language and why it's not. SPOKEN AT Tech.3camp VIDEOS How to organize in practice Pull Requests and Code Review Arkadiusz Głowacki Believes that legacy code is guilty anger and hunger on world and writing such should be forbidden by law.

Did: manual and automated testing, test management, quality assurance management, team leading, coaching, test consulting. Now a Quality Assistant. Spartez changed his life completely - the way he sees testing, who should test, and what should be the role of a QA. Loves Atlassian products and loves JIRA. Hates bullshit, to customers and to employees. "Damn, I am in the right place!" Privately, happy father of two daughters and running enthusiast. Maciej Kwidziński Maciek was responsible for designing, development, and maintaining web applications at Wirtualna Polska for 4 years. He believes that building software is an art of choosing tradeoffs. It is important to find the balance between short-term and long-term perspectives. SPOKEN AT Tech.3camp Aleksander Mierzwicki His passion is clean code. Loves Java for portability and hates it for being so lame. In free time, he greps random files in the root file system to find something new. So, if you're using Windows, then keep an eye on your computer - that Linux fanboy will install Debian for you when you're out for lunch! SPOKEN AT Tech.3camp PRESENTATIONS JRebel in practice VIDEOS JRebel in practice Krzysztof Piwowar Slayer of the Dragons, defender of JIRA, and secret agent of Design department. Usually can be seen in the office with a bunch of colourful post-it notes, sharpies, scissors, and a strange smile on his face, so be warned. He's User Experience practitioner and has been working in digital business for eight years. His motto is: Think Outside the Box, but Don't Forget the Box Exists. Probably, that's why he keeps asking two questions in the first place: why and what's the context. Filip Rogaczewski Filip is somewhat crazy guy, loving adrenaline (thus coding in Java and Scala). If you can't see him in an ambulance or a chopper taking him to a hospital from skis, a parachute, or a paraglider, you can find him hacking days and nights.

Iwona Stankiewicz Product Management enthusiast and passionate advocate of data-driven approach to product development. Her areas of expertise focus around web applications usability and performance. Born and bread electronics engineer, she gets XKCD humor, has low standards of fashion, feels the pain of server outages, can draw boxes and arrows, and is just close enough to the metal to know that stuff doesn’t happen by magic alone.

SPOKEN AT JUG Tricity PRESENTATIONS Developing Happily Ever After (Practices worth to be shared) Bartosz Szulc Passionate about testing, which means asking the hard questions. What do you need?

Interested in Software Development, as it's considered a great source of issues. Not only issues with the software itself, but product ideas, development methodologies, techniques, processes and practices. Where everything, every decision you make, depends on the underlying context. Once the issue is challenging enough, he will spend days understanding its root cause, its impact, and potential solutions, hopefully addressing the source.
