The Team

Adam

Adam is a hyper-active "life addict." After leaving home at 16, he went on to start his own computer hardware and networking company by age 18. Then, at 25, he sold the computer hardware company to focus on software development. His last Software-as-a-Service company was acquired by a NASDAQ-listed multinational.

When he's away from his desk, Adam paraglides, rides motorcycle safaris through Death Valley, enjoys climbing hard obstacles and thinks outside the box. As a practical joker with a serious side, Adam gets annoyed writing about himself in the third person. (Really, I do.)

Maciek

Maciej joined Desks Near Me in January, 2013 as a remote developer. He works from Warsaw, his hometown, where he completed his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Software Engineering) degree at the Warsaw School of Information Technology.

Maciej is always hungry for knowledge, and takes every opportunity to learn something new. So, when he was offered a fresh start in as a student at the Technical University of Denmark, he didn't hesitate to leave a career at a large multinational insurance company to take it. There, he earned an MSc in Computer Science. During his stay, Maciej also worked for few startups; at one point, he was involved with three, each using a different technology.

Now, when Maciej has a free moment from IT work, he likes to hang out with his fiancee, play squash, or challenge his brain with a game of bridge.
