IDCT Bartosz Pachołek

Open-source Backend Solutions Development

I'm a backend engineer who thrives where software meets hardware—designing high‑performance systems, real‑time data flows, and scalable architectures that solve complex, real‑world problems. With over a decade of experience across FinTech, IoT, data‑processing, and custom platform development, I build solutions that are fast, reliable, and thoughtfully engineered.

I'm passionate about Redis, C#, PHP/Symfony, and modern DevOps practices, and I love turning ambitious ideas into production‑ready systems. Beyond engineering, I share my fascination with technology as a content creator, making innovation accessible to a wider audience.

Above all, I'm driven by curiosity, craftsmanship, and the belief that great software should make a measurable impact.
