Summary

Dzień dobry, I am finishing my degree in Electrical Engineering and will be relocating to Warsaw. There I would like to further develop in the field of RTL design. I have strong problem solving skills and first experience gained at the university and multiple internships. I am looking for a place where I can grow and challenge myself in a good atmosphere of brainstorming and cooperation.
