Profile: https://flows.cv/senolszewski

I'm a music school drop-out. 
A self-taught developer. 
And I've broken into FAANG and work alongside and lead MIT, Stanford, and Harvard engineers on highly complex and impactful products. 

I have over 10 years of experience innovating with every imaginable kind of company - from start-ups to Fortune 10 companies, from defense to developer tools. If there's a domain, I've likely worked in it, either directly as an engineer or as a technical leader, shaping the outcome of the project.

I have a deep expertise in software quality from working on so many projects, and from an intense focus over the past 8 years on every aspect of what makes software good: the human factors, the product design, the business support, and of course, the technical and engineering of the systems. When you're self-taught, and surrounded by some of the best engineering graduates in the world, you pay a lot of attention on how to build things right!
