Paweł Kowaluk

I am a full-stack developer who specializes in tooling for technical documentation. That means I have knowledge and experience of tools used in technical writing.

Skills

  • Static site generators
  • DevOps and deploying web apps
  • Webmastering, hosting, DNS, etc.
  • Managing versions of docs
  • Creating pipelines for translation and localization
  • Content strategy
  • ContentOps
  • Managing teams and projects
  • Software architecture
  • Database design

Tech stack

The way I understand it, full-stack means I have experience creating web applications. I feel the most comfortable using the following tech:

  • React, JS, Typescript
  • Express.js
  • Postgres, mySQL, ORMs

I've also dabbled in:

  • Python
  • C#
  • Java

Notable achievements

Let me not be humble for a minute and appreciate myself. This is for my mental health, but also for potential employers or business partners. I've done some stuff:

  • I have been building tools and strategies for ContentOps since 2008.
  • I was one of the original co-founders of "soap! technical writing conference" (all lowercase). The organizers have taken it to new heights since I left and I cannot take any credit for its greatness. Still I cannot forget this part of my life, it's important to me.
  • I am a contributor to and maintainer of the https://techwriter.pl blog.
  • I am a co-owner and co-host of the https://techwriterkoduje.pl podcast.
  • I used to be on the board of ITCQF. It was an organization which trained tech writers. It also issued tech writing certificates across Europe.
  • I served as Technical Director (and site manager) of 3di Poland when it first opened in Krakow. I played a major role in setting up the Polish branch and making it profitable.
  • I used to teach a tech writing class at AGH University of Science and Technology. It was part of a post-diploma course for managers in the software industry
  • I am an experienced public speaker. I've given many public presentations at conferences and meetups. I've also run training sessions, workshops, and webinars.

Hobbies

  • Writing flash fiction.
  • Dark Souls - if you know, you know.
  • Watching movies and reading books.

Contact

You can find me on Linkedin. I should also not be that hard to Google. At the time of writing this, I live in Krakow, Poland.
