➤ Informal Description (a little bit about my work habits)
- I am a friendly, open-minded and experienced programmer willing to deliver a high quality, scalable, secure solution to the clients I work with.
- I like to plan the project, hence expect me to ask a lot of questions throughout the whole development.
- I appreciate ongoing and clear communication, which I believe helps in building a healthy relationship.

I love WordPress for 11 years where I started my first, personal blog. I like the platform’s availability, extensibility, ease of use and scalability. I like to blog as I can help the others out: WP doin.
Privately, given my sports background I exercise a lot, doing all sorts of activities from Martial Arts (boxing is my background), through gym, swimming and acrobatics– healthy body, healthy mind – that’s what I believe.
I am also a book lover and if you read a lot like I do feel free to add me on services like goodreads
Outside of that I love traveling and have traveled a lot of Europe already, have been living in Portugal and Northern Ireland for a long while.
Finally, I take care of my lonely two grandmothers, given the fact some of my family lives abroad.

Great experience, excellent service and communication. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
Rafal is the best, don't ever let him go! I will definitely request his assistance for all my development needs. What a brilliant developer!
Rafal came with a comprehensive plan, executed it and spared no effort in trying to solve unexpected issues.
This was an investigational project and we will now proceed to implementation work. Good communication, so happy thus far.
did exactly as i wanted and edited some extra work!
Rafal did a good job clarifying what I was looking for. He did the work quickly and accurately. He made a couple of little adjustments quickly when I requested them.
