Hi! My name is Marcin (how to pronounce it). I use he/him or they/them pronouns. I live in Warsaw, Poland, and this is my personal README.

I got my education in teaching English as a foreign language, and worked as an English teacher for five years. Since 2017 I've worked as a Technical Writer.

In the meantime, I've volunteered at a non-profit, where I organized youth camps and weekend workshops, leading educational exercises on human rights, diversity, sustainable development, and peaceful conflict resolution. I've also co‑organized PyLight Waw, a beginner‑friendly Python meetup and have given talks on software documentation.

No matter my future job title, I'm a documentarian, a person who cares about documentation and communication in the software industry. I like learning more about software UX and designing experiences in general.

I care about open‑source software, the welfare of humans and other animals, and, broadly speaking, building bridges not walls.

I prefer a work environment that is structured, and defaults to asynchronous communication, but I enjoy 1:1 syncs when it's more efficient.

I can deal with ambiguity well, but don't enjoy it too much. I'm an Asker and have a low level of shame, so I'll let you know if I need additional context or help.

I can manage multiple tasks well, but need to block time off for deep work to feel fulfilled in my work.

I work best in afternoons (CET), so I often work 11 am - 7 pm. It is the time when I am most productive.

Outside of documentation work, I enjoy polishing UI text, like error messages, empty states, or field descriptions.

I'm good at Git and have often helped people fix messy situations.
