Krystian Panek

Krystian has amateur experience in software engineering since 2006 when he started programming using the book "PHP w mgnieniu oka" (English version "Sams Teach Yourself PHP in 10 Minutes") which was quite atypical Christmas gift for a 14 year old child. Few years later, he started a professional career as a full stack web developer mostly concentrated on PHP but with additional Adobe Photoshop skills which enabled him to build websites from scratch. After many years spent in the PHP world and earning money on making custom CMS systems, he decided to start something new - try Java at Cognifide. It was risky, because he started from the beginning, almost without any Java experience. People said a language is only a tool, the experience matters. After only 5 years at Cogniide, Krystian became Principal Software Engineer and fell in love with the Java world. His area of specialization is now OSGi framework, Gradle based automation and Kotlin language evangelization. Founder of popular Adobe Experience Manager tools: Gradle AEM Plugin and Search Web Console Plugin for Apache Felix. Now focused on delivering high-quality software fast!. He is often challenging conventions and demonstrating that in software engineering everything is possible - it is only a matter of time.
