Student in GOTO.IT course "Data Scientist"

In a over a hundred years old sink factory I was made sink molds with a great team, mixed clay in multi-ton blenders, pumped it and poured into molds on stands. Great fun, but I missed too much my country home.

I was a history, geography and a Polish language teacher for Polish kids in the UK. I taught incredibly bright kids in the 6th grade (10-11 years old). It was a great adventure. I found my calling there :-)

In the former logistics part of Crown Paints, now CEVA Logistics, I worked on a 19th century SAP system, doing my best to manage heavy load drivers.

I want to start something new in my live and an opportunity has arisen - participation in JavaScript Bootcamp.

I worked under the coolest manager, Mr. Finney in the logistics department. Our job was to design and arrange complicated furniture parts on pallets (hundreds of pallets), so that they would take up as little space as possible for road, sea and air transport.

Concentration camp. Anyone who worked for them will confirm this.

I have set up exhibitions and etc. I had an incredible opportunity to hold it in my hand Leonardo da Vinci's notebook and have seen a falconer at work as he cleared the museum courtyard of pigeons.

Starting on the pot wash, then kitchen porter, after a few months of hard work, I was promoted to grill chef and as the team leader I was responsible for the proper preparation and serving meal. Till now I still know how to cook delicious food.

I wrote promotional texts, articles, and reviews for magazines and on websites. I created tonnes of promotional materials; leaflets, brochures and catalogs. Also I wrote collection of fairy tales for children

I was the first contact person in the IT Helpdesk which supports hundreds of users. I received phone orders and distributed them among specialists on duty. I also deal with all the documentation of the IT department.

I was spotted and brought to Warsaw. My job was to detect cheaters in all Polish casinos of the Olympic group. I discovered how they work and then I developed the methods of prevention. I also supervised the implementation of safety procedures in Polish casinos and I trained survillance specialists from other European countries.

I was a member of the surveillance team in the casino in Katowice. I was specialised in card games: Black Jack and Poker.

I was the head of a few member's team of proofreaders, language editors and pre-press in process of preparing book from scratch to published edition.

Together with couple friends I edited two magazines for students: "Averte" and "Bankrupt". I have written articles and interviewed celebrities who visiting Silesian University (J. Krowin-Mikke, L. Balcerowicz, H. Gronkiewicz-Waltz, etc.)

I created a dynamic marketing department from scratch. We created marketing activities that were ahead of their time. First in Poland we started using rendered images of buildings that were just being designed. Now, of course, it is a standard.

I was elected member of the city council. I resigned after two years of fruitless work. It was my first and last attempt to enter politics.
