Software engineer · Technical leader

Kamil Biel

I’m a senior software engineer and technical leader working across backend development, system architecture, and full-stack delivery. My experience includes autonomous retail, payment integrations, energy platforms, and production web systems.

Profile

I’m an open-minded problem solver with a practical approach to software. I care about readable code, clear architecture, and solutions that remain understandable after the first release.

I enjoy moving between implementation and the bigger picture: understanding a product, finding the actual constraint, and helping a team deliver without unnecessary complexity.

AI philosophy

“I read the code.”

— Mitchell Hashimoto

That short answer captures the standard I want to keep as AI changes how software is made. I use AI to explore ideas, shorten feedback loops, and remove repetitive work. It saves me time. I still read the code and care about its quality and long-term reliability.

Production software still needs ownership. Someone must understand the architecture, verify the behavior, review the security implications, and be able to operate the system when the happy path ends. If a team cannot explain the code it ships, it does not truly own it.
