About

I’m Ignacy Moryc, a software engineer based in Warsaw. I’ve been building software for almost twenty years, across media, fintech and developer platforms.

Most of that time went into backend systems and the platforms other people build on. I built an IPTV client for the PlayStation’s Blu-ray player, a Hadoop-based payment reporting platform, and a module system that became one of platformOS’s main revenue streams. As a Principal Engineer I shared ownership of the architecture for an organisation of 60 engineers. Along the way I’ve led teams, coached engineers, and spent a lot of time turning vague problems into systems that last.

This blog is where I think out loud about that work: how software gets built and maintained, technical leadership, the trade-offs behind engineering decisions, and lately what it’s like to work alongside LLMs and coding agents.

Everything here is my own opinion. I don’t write about my current employer’s work, and nothing here speaks for any company I’ve worked for.
