Michal Stanislawek’s Summary

Application Developer, Architect, Project Manager, Product Manager, Development Team Manager - I have been wearing many hats throughout my professional career. In most of my positions I was responsible for multiple goals, had tight deadlines and sometimes extreme pressure to deliver on time.

My recent experience lies in the area of video streaming and serving through web applications. I also have recent experience in infrastructure solutions including CDN operations and design based mostly on Windows Server.

I have also used to work with open source technologies and infrastructure.

I believe in team management through partnership using agile approach. I am a strong believer that each team needs a unique approach and methodology. Thats why a mix of agile techniques always worked best.
