The team Tomasz Zielinski Founder & CEO Tomasz founded Vestiacom in 2004 after working for 7 years mainly for the telecommunications and banking industries. A system architecture wizard, Tomasz has been instrumental in the creation - and great success - of several industry-first and state of art solutions ranging from billing to data mining to connectivity. In 2009 Home Automation became a major field of interest and he soon could master the combination of hardware and software in order to offer unique and purposeful customer experiences. Tomasz is also a pilot and flies whenever he can. Marta Zielinska Co-founder & COO Marta is the co-founder of Vestiacom and has worked for over 15 years as a software developer. Marta has worked as a consultant and project manager on numerous international projects, mainly in the telecommunication and the banking industries. Marta’s user-friendly, customer-centric approach and her gift for simplifying complexity has always made the difference. A mother of two, Marta is an avid reader and feeds her interest for psychology as often as she can. Remek Project Manager Remek became part of Vestiacom in June 2014. A highly experienced manager, he has worked for 20 years on projects that have impacted the lives of millions of mobile users worldwide. Extremely organized and reliable, Remek has always won the admiration and respect of his customers and his colleagues thanks to his sharp intelligence but also his genuine humbleness. Doted with a real talent to combine technology and business sense, Remek seems to have quite the touch for reducing complexity and thinking in smart solutions. His reading and movie choices clearly indicate that he is sensitive to works transpiring a certain “savage poetry” and magical realism, Murakami’s 1Q84 and PT Anderson’s unforgettably powerful Magnolia being part of his favorite. When he’s not at work, you might very well find him transmitting his love for music to his children. He definitely loves rock ‘n roll. Mateusz Lead Developer Having joined Vestiacom in 2010, Mateusz is the overall Responsible for Software Development. One of Mateusz’ specialties is Network Programming, his “other” talent being a Master Troubleshooter who certainly will find the reason why something is not working. With an insatiable appetite to always learn more, Mateusz has the serenity of those who know who they are and what they need to do. A guitarist with a penchant for the Goran Bregovic and Iggy Pop’s tunes he heard in his favorite movie, Mateusz dreams might some day take him to Arizona. On a sailboat. Tomek Team Leader Tomasz joined Vestiacom as the Lublin Office Team Leader in May 2014. An experienced manager with over 10 years’ experience in creating User Experiences, Mobile Applications and motivating people to give their best, Tomasz has worked for several big companies and touched the lives of thousands of users by creating, developing and supporting state of the art B2B applications. A genuinely empathetic person – he’s what you can call a “people’s person”. Tomasz is a lover of wild nature and photography and his outdoor escapades are often where where he can let his passion for philosophy run wild – or is it thirst for never stopping to learn- given the fact that his motto is “ AlI know is that I know nothing…” borrowed from Socrates? When he’s not reading passages from Bulgakov’s intensely thought-provoking “The Master and Margarita”, Tomasz might be caught watching Rick Deckard’s peregrinations in 2019 Los Angeles. Szymon Lead Embedded Developer Szymon joined Vestiacom in 2012 and is responsible for Hardware Development. Having worked for over 4 years, Szymon is a creative mind with a talent to envision and build devices and develop the software that makes them perfect. He has already developed a highly innovative burglar-fire-panic system, as well as a cutting-edge Home Automation solution. Szymon is also behind the creation of the groundbreaking Low Power Gateway for Swisscom and the Swiss Government. A specialist in C programming for embedded systems based on micro-controllers - which also are a personal hobby -, Szymon is also an expert in electronic design. When he is not building something or feeding his interests in quantum physics and medicine, Szymon is a stargazer – Star Trek, Star Wars… to name a few – but also actual stars through the lens of a telescope. Katarzyna Lead Web & Android Developer Katarzyna joined Vestiacom in 2013 after working for 5 years at various IT companies. A Web Developer specializing in PHP and Java, Katarzyna is Vestiacom’s Master of Android. She is the proud developer of web browser games – namely Tauri -, has built numerous online shops and has played a major role in the development of the Low Power Gateway and the SRS solution for Swisscom. Katarzyna is proud to never have thrown a computer out of a window, even though she has a thing for exploring unusual technologies such as Informix, Cassandra and Websphere, which she masters. Katarzyna’s love for the outdoors has made her a sports fanatic but it has also put two words on her to-do list: Powered Paragliding. “You’re an analytical mind in a romantic soul…” someone once told her. She thinks it’s totally true. Kacper Lead Operations & NOC Kacper is Vestiacom’s responsible for Operations and NOC. He has joined the team in 2010 and his main specialty is C/C++ code, a passion ignited the day he read a book – C++ Unleashed – and that has shaped his career path. Kacper is also a highly skilled Server Administration expert. A doer who thinks in solutions, Kacper will never forget the day he had to do an on-site integration at a customer in Switzerland – which he totally mastered by the way – because it was an accumulation of first-times that made his motivation and self-confidence go through the roof. He likes to watch Alfred Hitchcock’s movies and maybe soon he will be able to fly a helicopter, but The Trouble with Kacper is that he also programs in his free time and would love to develop a strategic game. His girlfriend doesn’t seem to mind, though. Anna QA Lead & Senior Developer Anna joined Vestiacom in 2010 after completing her degree. A user front-end development specialist who puts the business logic and the user experience at the very heart of her design process, Anna has proven that it is the right way to go in order to create intuitive applications and the subsequent enthusiasts who use them. Thanks to her dedication, her reliability and her precise work methodology, Anna has become Vestiacom’s main engineer responsible for Quality Assurance. An eclectic Japanophile, Anna would love to learn Japanese in order to read her favourite author – Masamune Shirow – in his original language. She might very well find the time, if her two little black rats behave. Maria Lead Mobile and Web Developer Maria became part of the Vestiacom Team in 2010 after completing several internships as a business analyst and a billing specialist. She is an expert in building web interfaces as well as Android and iOS Apps. Maria has been a main contributor to the Home Automation product development and is the person behind several Apps. A fast learner with a truly open mind, Maria’s positive attitude and ever-readiness to help is something you just notice. Maria loves to travel and a journey with the Trans-Siberian Train is definitely something she will do – maybe as soon as her son Michal is old enough to travel. What she also likes to do is bake tarts and eat them while reading Terry Pratchett’s books or watching French movies. Sheldon would definitely approve. Pawel Senior Java Developer Pawel joined Vestiacom in 2010 as a Java and Spring Specialist and has worked on numerous projects for the telecom industry. He is the main developer behind the HomeMonitor surveillance product and has made the myStrom Home Automation system more performing and scalable in order for it to always be in-line with changing customer needs. A curious mind who works with precision, Pawel’s numerous achievements have infused him with a very reassuring self-confidence stemming from experience and developments that really work. “Very friendly”, “positive person”, “extremely reliable” are the things people say when asked about Pawel. When he’s not watching great action movies – The Hunt for Red October is his favorite- or reading all about Quidditch, Pawel likes to talk long walks with his dog, one of life’s many simple pleasures. Patryk Lead iOS Developer Patryk has been with Vestiacom since 2013. With a 3-year strong experience, Patryk has become Vestiacom’s main iOS developer and has created intuitive, state of the art apps for pioneering products in the Home Automation and the Remote Access fields. An autodidact in the real sense of the word, Patryk relies on self-discipline and personal interests to nourish his mind and perfect his skills and on nature’s green power to soothe his soul. When he’s not practicing his Karate Katas, Patryk has a passion for creating video games in his free time. Inga Software Developer Inga has joined Vestiacom in August 2013 as a programmer. This is her first work experience in this field and she considers every passing day as an opportunity to discover and learn, an attitude that only contributes to nurturing her natural talents. Inga thrives on her varied scope of work and has contributed to many projects, which has very quickly earned her the reputation of being versatile and dependable. Inga channels her positive energy by putting her hands to creative use – learning sign language or knitting funny little toys are among her favorite pastimes and playing the cello is on her to-do list. And if you ask her nicely, she might even draw you a sheep. Katarzyna QA Tester QA Tester is Katarzyna’s first profession. She joined Vestiacom in September 2013 and from the very first day has relentlessly worked to master the skills required to do a great job. A perfectionist with a sharp intuition and a talent for creative solutions, she will know what to look for if an issue arises and will not give up until it is resolved. A traveller at heart, Katarzyna wants to discover the world but also loves to explore various universes where fantasy and great stories collide. It’s a question of nurturing her sense and sensibility …and sometimes conjuring Beetlejuice. Tacciana Software tester Tania joined the Vestiacom team in March 2014 as a Quality Assurance Tester, a few months after she decided that she wanted to work in IT. Resourceful and intelligent, Tania has quickly won the consideration and respect of her colleagues, while building her skills to master her craft. She is meticulous and patient – qualities that great testers possess - which is probably why she also intrepid with needles, creating delicate, poetic objects. And her next pet project is to build a little robot… Tania also seems to have a thing for books about books, because Fahrenheit 451 and The Name of the Rose are among her favourites. Way to feed a Beautiful Mind. Anna QA tester Anna joined Vestiacom in February 2014 as a Software Tester. This is her first experience in the workplace and she seems to have quite the talent for finding out what works and what definitely does not. Driven and not fearing to delve into the tiniest details, Anna wears her heart on her sleeve – this is probably what made her write her first novel at the young age of 25. She apparently is not stopping there – she might very well be aiming to become another famous Anna in tennis. Or maybe marathon cycling. When she sits still, her nights can become blueberry-flavoured pie, courtesy of Wong Kar-wai. And for her, orange is definitely the new black. Robert Android Developer Robert became part of the Vestiacom Warsaw team in March 2014. An Android specialist, Robert aims at perfecting his skills on a daily basis. Curious, quiet and always looking for the ideal solution, he tries to make the most of life, placing loyalty and friendship above all. An avid gamer, Robert every now and then manages to go out and sharpen his technique at the shooting range. And when he’s not reading Terry Pratchett, he can easily lose himself in Walter White’s Albuquerque. Or Khaleesi’s violet eyes. Mateusz Software developer After 4 years working as a Software Developer, Mateusz joined Vestiacom in April 2014. A versatile programmer with a talent for system integration, Mateusz strengths lie in C/C++ network programming, software security and Python scripting. Open, sociable and fun loving, he will often go out for a beer with his colleagues after work – if he is not too sleep-deprived, having recently become a father. If you say Mont Blanc, Mateusz might think of the mountain – that he dreams of climbing someday – or the meringue and chestnut cream French dessert – that he probably can whip up to perfection. And if you ask him what is the highest-rated movie on IMDB, he will answer you without any hesitation. Because it’s his all-time favourite. Maciek iOS Developer Maciej has been part of Vestiacom since July 2014. With an undisputed talent for creating fantastic user-friendly applications, he strives to make front-end interfaces no less than “eye candy” (his own words). The creator of a top-selling App, Maciej’s hard-working and perseverant nature always pushes him to be at his best. While some might perceive him as unconventional – eccentric even – most will first sense and see his positivity and undeniable cleverness. An avid traveler who does not shy away from a good laugh – The Hangover is one of his favourite movies– Maciej also abandons himself to Harlan Coben’s chillingly masterful intrigues. But in his dreams, he sometimes can be John Bonham. Rafal Windows Phone Developer Rafal has joined Vestiacom as an Applications Developer in June 2014. He’s a bona fide Microsoft.NET framework specialist who has a preference for the Universal Windows App concept. Ingenuous, curious but also inquisitive to the point of becoming annoying at times, Rafal really needs to get answers in order to be satisfied. The creator of a face recognition algorithm that actually works, Rafal is also a hobby astronomer and when he’s not stargazing, he dreams (or is it a plan soon to become reality?) of having a top-notch telescope that he would control with a self-created app. His interests are so diverse and his mind so open to anything that Rafal is never averse to reading or watching something new, no matter what it is. But his real love is music and whenever he can he would plug in and drift away. Warsaw/Poland +48 22 250 23 86 info@vestiacom.com
