Hello

My name is Arkadiusz Wiśniecki. I am system analyst with 8 years of experience and a demonstrated history of working in different domains (telecommunication, tax, OTC derivatives).My excellent communication skills help me with understanding the needs of stakeholders while strong technical skills are useful when designing technical solutions and discussing those with the development teams.I am also a big agile and DevOps enthusiast who is eager to learn new things and likes sharing his knowledge with people around.


During my career in software development, I was working also as a Scrum master. I worked in this role with two separate teams.To the first team, I have joined half a year after the project kick-off. I helped to overcome the chaos and bridge a gap between the development team and a business team. I was working with that team for 1.5 years.The second team we were building from the scratch and setting up the SCRUM process from the beginning. The team has grown to 7 people and delivered the working product after four months of development. Since the go-live, the team is enhancing the solution by applying the best CI/CD practices.
