Leszek Gruchała

Shortly about me

Head of Engineering, Senior Software Engineer with 18 years of experience. I turn complex concepts into business outcomes. I build and scale backends using Scala and the streaming ecosystem. I do front-end development (TypeScript, React) and Python scripts when needed. Eager to learn, I prioritize delivery and quickly master new programming languages and technologies and leverage GenAI tools to reduce the time to delivery.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve collaborated remotely with teams in the USA (Indianapolis, New York), Germany, Belgium, Czechia, Italy, and Poland, traveling occasionally.

As Head of Engineering, I code while supervising engineering and operations teams, ensuring alignment and collaboration with C-level stakeholders. I have led initiatives that have reduced infrastructure costs by 70%, streamlined backend systems, implemented multitenancy, migrated from on-premise systems, and, in some cases, cut page load times by 80%. I advocate for simplicity and the right tools, favoring long-term collaborations with product companies.

Proactive and self-organized, I focus on achieving results collaboratively with my team, tackling challenges together.
