Jakub Wasielak
Python Developer in Kraków, Polska
I'm an Engineering Manager and Python developer focused on community.
I've successfully gathered a team of developers and designers to implement Cozato - an environment-focused non-profit service for local item exchange. The project won an incubation program but then was put on hold because of lack of funding.
I'm a member, common speaker and organiser of Kraków's Python group called Pykonik. Since 2014 I run various, regular meetings, like tech talks, dojos and open spaces with an audience of 50-100 attendees.
I've created a professional video-course called Automatic tests in Python - unit tests for beginners with a rating of 4.5 and around 3000 sold copies (Polish only).
I take place and run hackathons, with a biggest success in winning and implementing a solution for entertainment and educational app for institution which cares for mentally disabled.
For four consecutive years I've been a coordinator and contributor of Python Challenge competition on PyConPL conference, where over hundred attendees tries to solve prepared riddles.
In year 2017 I've co-organised Koderek, a conference and hackathon focused on interesting kids with programming. This event has been successful and will be repeated in future.
In the spare time I'm a fantasy lover, LARP player and coordinator of convention called Fornost and Krak-ON.
