Wojtek

I’m Wojtek Zając1, a software engineer originally from Kraków, Poland. Since 2010, I've been traveling extensively—transitioning to a fully nomadic lifestyle in 2014. Over the past years, I've lived in six different countries, embracing the concept of personal sovereignty through location independence.

My professional work is mostly related to front-end development, which I got into in the early 2000s.

Within Front-End, I specialize in Web Accessibility, and I've given several workshops and presentations on the topic. In 2005, published the first online course of Polish Sign Language. I've worked with major universities in the U.S., UK, and Australia, as well as governmental institutions, ensuring their websites comply with accessibility regulations.

Throughout my career, I've collaborated with notable clients such as Twitter, Kaplan, Inc., and Riot Games on various front-end development projects. I also coordinated the development of high-traffic websites for American Idol and The X-Factor USA.

I've gained experience in diverse team structures, from fully distributed groups to traditional single-site teams. For four years, I established and led a local branch of an international software house, growing it to 18 team members.

Currently, my interests revolve around technical leadership and fostering company culture that leverages remote working and asynchronous communication.
