ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Marcin Czachurski. I was born in Legnica in the early 1980s. During high school, I received my first personal computer (an Intel Pentium II 350 MHz with 128MB of RAM and a 4GB hard drive). This was a pivotal moment in my life, as it sparked my interest in both hardware and software. This experience led me to pursue a career in computers, and after high school, I began my studies in computer science in Legnica in 2001. I have now been a software developer for over two decades, during which time the field of computer science, along with development languages and related technologies, has evolved significantly.

After four years of study, I moved to Wrocław and began working for a medium-sized IT company. A few years later, this company was acquired by a large international corporation, Unit4. I am currently a Principal Software Engineer for one of Unit4’s products designed for the Nordic market.

As computer science is both my hobby and passion, I not only create software professionally but also develop side projects in my spare time. I am the author of Impressia, a Pixelfed client for iOS, as well as Vernissage, an application designed for sharing photographs with other users. Vernissage supports the decentralized ActivityPub protocol, making it part of the Fediverse.

A few years ago, I also began exploring photography, which, in these challenging times, provides a healthy escape from reality. You will often find me on the streets with my camera gear, as street photography has become one of my favorite genres.

Recently, I have also developed a strong interest in psychology, which has become a new passion of mine over the past year. I have begun studying the subject, and it continues to captivate me more each day.

I live in Wrocław/Poland with my lovely wife and daughter.
