Hi, I’m Adam… Adam Ziolkowski

I am a hybrid web developer/designer focused on applying web standards in my work, with an eye on the user experience and a track record of delivering results.

Professional summary

Over the past 10 years, I have worked closely with product owners, managers, business analysts, designers, and developers as part of internal Web/UI consulting teams at Sabre and CAE. Together, we have shipped web applications for the airline industry.

As a versatile, adaptable, and self-motivated developer, I am committed to delivering on plans—and often exceeding expectations.

Interests

Besides web technology and technology in general, my interests lie in world history and geography. When I had more time, I liked reading books—fiction and non-fiction. Since I ever remember, I have been quite fond of photography, though I have to admit I get lost sometimes in tech jargon and options available these days to budding photographers. If I feel like it I will grab my 10-inch Dobsonian telescope and drive a couple of hours to a dark-sky spot to look at the stars and try to find Saturn or Jupiter with their moons.

I like gaming, both video and board gaming. I will always make room and time for some competitive and co-op game at a table with friends, though I like solo games, too—I am an introvert after all.

Location

Before becoming a web designer/developer, I spent a few years living abroad: in Russia, Holland, Switzerland, Ivory Coast and Ghana. Since then, I lived in Hungary, Mexico and came back to Poland for a few years. I have been living in the United States since 2015.

I like to travel but off the beaten path. You will not find me in Cancun.
