Hi, I am Marcin Fiorek

Full-stack Software Developer at Sollers Consulting

I am a self-thought developer with a passion for programming both backend and frontend. Even though I’ve only recently started working in this profession, my private projects on Android OS date back to 2011. Personally I am an energetic person who constantly craves to learn new things. Driven by new opportunities and committed to achieving set objectives. Combining technical knowledge with interpersonal skills.

Skills

Java
Java

My first programming language that opened a lot of possibilities for me. I always appreciate every project based on it allowing me to code nicely structured backend.
JavaScript
JavaScript

As practically everyone, I have a love-hate relation with JavaScript. This main tool in frontend creation comes very handy every day, especially with ES6+ features.
TypeScript
TypeScript

I always strongly prefer working with TypeScript than JavaScript. Type checking is very useful and in my opinion results in a better, more stable codebase and easier to maintain projects.
Git
Git

Experienced with git-based development. Privately used Bitbucket and Github, professionally mostly Github but also have experience in working with Gerrit.
HTML
HTML

The backbone of the frontend web development. Absolute necessity as capability of writing clean, readable HTML code is used on every project.
CSS
CSS

Capability of writing clean CSS code proved on both professional and private projects, including knowledge of SASS, LESS, CSS-Modules, and a couple of CSS-in-JS solutions.
React
React

Personal favorite frontend framework (although it’s technically a library). Two of my professional projects covered migration to React.
Gatsby
Gatsby

Awesome tool for creating React-based web pages. Not only it makes some things a lot easier but also enables some possibilities that with pure React would be very hard to achieve.
Hugo
Hugo

Small yet super efficient static site generator. Perfect solution for simple websites and blogs that allows using Markdown to generate content.
Svelt
Svelt

Svelt and its still-in-beta framework SveltKit are what I presume to be the next big thing for web development. I would love the opportunity to work with it on a professional project.
Angular + AngularJS
Angular + AngularJS

Professional knowledge of both AngularJS as well as newer Angular versions (2+). The AngularJS is getting outdated but I do enjoy working with the newer versions.
Spring Framework
Spring Framework

Worked on two projects with it and still feel that I only scratched the surface of it. Always looking for opportunities to work with this massive framework and learn even more about it.
