About 

Hello world! I graduated from Poznan University of Technology where I scored a Master's degree in the field of architecture and urban planning and obtained postgraduate diploma in architectural lighting. 

I work as an architect since graduation. I have started as a draftsman and over the years my responsibilities have grown. Since the beginning of 2017 I work without direct supervision and I manage projects on my own. In 2017 I passed the state exams and acquired full architectural licence.

I am also a PhD candidate at Cracow University of Technology. I am a holder of an research grant administered by the university. My research aims to quantify the relation between parameters of public lighting and perceived personal safety. In my experiments I utilize virtual reality technology.

In the meantime, I play jazz and classical music on my violin.
