I am Piotr Prądzyński

I am an enthusiastic software developer and devotee of new technologies. My first line of code I wrote in 2005. My professional career was started in July 2009 when I joined to AIS.PL where I spend over 6 years as a Java web developer. Afterwards I decided to start work in more flexible way as a freelancer. Currently I making projects for Roche. Meanwhile I certified my Java knowledge achieving OCPJP (November 25, 2010) and OCPWCD (July 15, 2011) certificates.

I am co-founder and one of the former leaders of Toruń JUG, our local Java User Group founded in March 2014. I was helping to organize our regular meetings and I was responsible for a contact with various partners. Moreover, I am an originator and coordinator of Toruń JUG Day.

Because programming for me is firstly a passion and later a job so my private interests mainly refers to it. When I have time I like to create some software. Apart from computers I like watch and play football. Since I can remember my favorite team is Manchester United. In my spare time I also like to play board or card games or watch a good movie. I am blogging about programming and self-employment in Poland at ProgramistaNaSwoim.pl.
