About me

Bartłomiej Jakub Kwiatek

Master of Science in ICT, Software Engineer (PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, Bash)

Professionally

My journey into computer programming started in 2003. At the beginning I was writing simple web pages in HTML and JavaScript. But quick acquaintance with PHP allowed me to develop quicker and create more useful web pages. I was improving skills in Javascript and CSS also.

For several years I have been experimenting with CMS apps like PHPnuke or MediaWiki. After that I decided to write my own web application.

My knowledge was organised during the studies. I have learned the rules of software development, I got to know informatics standards and programming languages (Asembler, C, C++, Java).

Now I have good knowledge of web development, both for desktop and mobile devices. In application development, I use the latest PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript standards, as well as libraries and tools such as Kohana, Symfony, WordPress, Drupal, jQuery, Bootstrap or SCSS. I also write bash scripts and use Docker and Docksal.

I am also interested in computer security and web development with regards to mobile technology. I read a lot of blogs such as Niebezpiecznik.pl, Sekurak.pl, ZaufanaTrzeciaStrona.pl.


Privately

For many years I was active in scouting, where I spent hours fraternizing with nature and interesting people. I got to know the wide world thanks to the Dominican Academic Ministry “Beczka“, traveling to Polish and European nooks and crannies.

In my free time, I like to indulge in my passions, i.e. photography, reading books (especially crime stories, adventure, science fiction and fantasy) and listening to music (ethnic, alternative, rock, jazz). Sometimes I sit down and play the guitar. I also tinker with the H0 scale model railway. When the weather allows, I get on a bike, ski or go on trips, not only in high mountains.
