about me

photo

I'm an entrepreneur and software, IT security and networking professional, with 25 years of experience in the industry. I'm a co-founder and board member of Redge Technologies (since 2022 part of the Play Iliad group), where I oversee the development of a content delivery network, an OTT/InternetTV platform and a DDoS mitigation solution.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, I was involved in a security research, finding 40+ vulnerabilities in a widely used software. Since 2017 I'm a cybersecurity expert in Business Centre Club, Poland.

I co-founded Nette, one of the largest FTTH/GPON providers in Lublin, Poland, which was acquired in 2020 by Vectra, the largest Polish CATV provider.

I live in Warsaw, together with my wife and three daughters. I'm a member of Porsche Club Poland and a licensed amateur radio operator (SQ5JIV).

And by the way - I'm the owner of Tęczowa Sowa, a cool place for kids in Warsaw.
