SUNSCRAPERS STORIES

Ania Domańska-Grzyb

How would you describe your role at Sunscrapers?

I’m a Web Developer.

Who did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was little I've had many dreams about who I would like to be when I grow up. Two personas were the most important for me: Indiana Jones or astronomer. And somehow I become them all - I'm Indiana Jones when I'm fixing bugs and an astronomer when I admire and create good looking and good working features.

What do you like to read?

I love to read - books are really important part of my life. I even started a Slack channel about books at Sunscrapers! My favourite books are non-fiction ones and travel journals.

What do you admire in others?

I admire many traits: open hearts and minds, fearlessness and ability to see the best in other people. And of course a good sense of humor - that's something I couldn't live without! :)

Bartek Grabski

How would you describe your role at Sunscrapers?

I am a backend software developer. I like to design data models and implement algorithms. But most of all I like to make the software users happy.

What was your impression after a week at Sunscrapers?

I immediately felt at home. It was amazing to find so many clever, funny, interesting people. And with time, this feeling has only strengthened within me.

What is your background?

I developed desktop applications for translation between different languages. I came away with big affection to languages and natural language processing, and attention to details. And I learned how good it feels when users appreciate the hard work put into development.

What do you do on your days off?

On holidays me and my wife like to travel all over Europe by car, looking for castles, monuments and breathtaking views. On a weekend we like to go to a good rock concert, an interesting play, or have a home supper with red wine and an entertaining movie. And when the wind blows and sun shines I jump in a sailboat to cruise nearby waters.

What makes you laugh?

I love parody movies and absurd humour. I can watch Top Secret, Airplane!, Hot Shots or all Scary Movies over and over again. I've learned the meaning of life from Monty Python's films and 45 episodes of Flying Circus. And The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is easily the best book ever written.

Kamil Sabatowski

How would you describe your role at Sunscrapers?

I’m responsible for analysing business requirements and providing solutions that will contribute to the success of our projects. I’m the guard of proper agile process implementation and its quality. My role is to solve complex problems between business and technical spheres and also to enable both parties to collaborate effectively.

What would you say is your best skill?

Proactive attitude, an ability to listen actively and non-antagonistic communication skills.

What is your background?

Since I was a child I’ve been acquiring knowledge from different fields of science and this resulted in my wide scope of interests today. I studied European studies at the University of Warsaw (BA) - which gave general understanding of European Economic Law, economics and social tendencies in Europe - and also Management at Warsaw School of Economics (MA), with specialty in Strategic Management.

What do you like to read?

I like to read books on business, economics, management, social theories as also travel reportages. I also find reading biographies very inspiring. When it comes to searching for new positions to read, I’m trying to make these choices the way that will let me get an interdisciplinary knowledge, easy to implement in practice. I highly appreciate Michael Porter’s work on strategic management and competitiveness and breath-taking notes of polish globe explorer, Jacek Pałkiewicz.

What do you admire in others?

Beside many other attributes, I admire people’s willingness to break the status quo, the desire to break the limits, to learn new skills and to empower others by giving a positive example

I’m a Python developer - I help to solve our clients' business problems using Python programming language. I take part in the process of software production for our clients and help them with making choices which technologies and solutions we're going to use.

What’s your favourite thing about your job?

Contact with the client. I like talking to them, suggesting solutions to the challenges we’re facing, exchanging knowledge.

Where do you come from?

I come from Poznań. I was born and raised there.

Who is your favourite superhero and why?

Iron Man - he’s one of the few who were born without any superpowers. All that he became is thanks to his engineering genius and his mind.

Competence. I love listening to people who know what they are talking about.
