About
From founder to production engineer.
I'm Michał Waldman. I co-founded Poliglotter, a browser extension that turns everyday reading into language learning, and I built it end to end — the extension, the shared type layer, and the backend sync. Shipping it (and placing 2nd at the InfoShare Startup Contest) taught me ownership, user empathy, and execution velocity.
Now I want to bring that founder's bias for shipping into a strong engineering team, where I can go deep on production-grade code: type safety, performance, and clean architecture.
