Mariusz Smenzyk

Hello, I'm Mariusz

Who am I? For many years I was an IT engineer/programmer with a passion for building in many industries. Nowadays, my IKIGAI is in the field of music and sport - with the intersection of AI and technology. Why do I run this website? I want to share my experience and thoughts about my work and life on my own terms. Not LinkedIn or other social media platforms. What do I do? I develop AI-powered products by providing services like: research, prototyping, and delivering digital solutions. I also love sport, where I build programmable training metronome to improve pacing, rhythm, and efficiency. What will you find here? My projects, articles, and other content about things that I'm working on.
