Maciej Skalny
Adobe Certified Expert with strong and solid experience in Magento. I am always committed, taking care of quality and adhere to the best standards. As a developer, I mainly work with eCommerce solutions such as Magento or Shopware, but I love learning new technologies. Privately, a fan of football and good music.
Dariusz Sadkowski
Programmer and gamer, unfortunately, won't combine into pro-gamer. My tech stack is focused on eCommerce-related technologies, especially Magento 2 (full stack). Maybe I don't talk too much, but I'm an open-minded, creative person who can find a solution to any problem. When it comes to programming, nothing is impossible, and if you are sure it's impossible, you never asked me for advice. I love to learn new technologies, because - let's be honest - even Magento 2 won't last forever, so it's always a good idea to have some other paths to choose from.

I follow the principle - think outside the box, but to make life easier - use templates.
