I'm Timotej Fartek
As a full-stack Elixir developer, I help teams with technical leadership and product development.
Whether you're looking to work together or just want to follow along with my writings and scribbles, you're in the right place.
I've worked in various roles across distributed systems, team leadership, and full-stack development with Elixir, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
At BlockFi, as a tech lead in the Credit Card team, I helped develop the world's first cryptocurrency cash back credit card. I also led the technical side of the pre-launch waiting list.
During my time at V7, I led two teams: a bug-swatting team that created space for the organization to focus on feature development, and a team that helped clients maximize the efficacy of their AI models.
Being part of several tech teams, I've seen a recurring theme: the importance of communication. Whether it's bridging gaps between different teams or ensuring everyone speaks the same language, clear communication is crucial for motivation and keeping things on track. There's rarely a technical issue that costs a company as much as poor communication.
I believe in culture and camaraderie. I value building products that make a difference and creating an environment where everyone's voice matters. For me, it's not just about code. It's about building lasting relationships and enjoying the journey.
Leadership
I work with teams on technical direction, keeping everyone aligned and moving forward together.
Mentoring
I help developers navigate technical challenges and grow their skills through practical guidance.
Contributing to the codebase
I design, architect, and implement software. From MVPs to enterprise-scale applications.
