polish founder, currently based in warsaw, soon relocating to san francisco.

dropped out of high school at 17 to start his first company — it failed spectacularly. spent the next few years trying to become a rapper instead (also didn't work out, but was way more fun). somewhere around 2019 decided to hitchhike across europe and the us — ended up going from nyc to sf with basically no plan, crashing on couches, and somehow got a $10 a night air mattress in a palo alto startup accelerator. that trip broke his brain in the best possible way.

came back obsessed with tech and hackers. moved to london, enrolled in uni, taught himself to code, got deep into hacker culture, design and ai. og-vibecoder who fought with gpt-3.5 to get a single python function right.

now he's building hacklab — a free hacker-friendly online university he calls 'stanford in your pocket.' the bet: the most valuable skill in the post-ai world isn't a degree, it's knowing how to bend ai to your will. he believes hacking is the new reading — and that the best proof of competence will be showcasing what you can build, not where you studied.

in his spare time he runs a youtube channel documenting the whole chaotic journey, and occasionally drops ai-generated rap songs under the nickname young ati (artificial trapping intelligence). runs on hard adhd and even harder conviction.
