Profile: https://flows.cv/filipwojciechowski

I love learning, and building solutions through code. I've worked across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data engineering in various languages. Right now, I'm focused on solving data problems using 'deconstructed database' or 'composable data system' approaches and technologies like Apache Arrow and DuckDB.
