About me

I am Michal Kazmierczak, a remote software engineer broadly interested in observability of distributed systems. My day-to-day work lies at the intersection of programming and basic statistical analysis.

Most recently I have been working as a freelancer supporting companies in designing and implementing system and app-level observability as well as improving the tracing and the performance of distributed systems.

Besides that, I’m an everyday runner, a seasonal swimmer and an occasional hiker.

Books that inspired me the most:

  • “Thinking, fast and slow” by Daniel Kahneman
  • “Software Engineering at Google, Lessons Learned from Programming over Time” by Tytus Winters, Tom Manshreck & Hyrum Wright
  • “Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way” by Will Kurt
