06 KONRAD MALAWSKI
SNAPSHOT
Age
23 | Occupation Developer at SoftwareMill | Location Kraków, Poland
Konrad Malawski likes to
keep learning and pushing
his own limits. He admits
being “weirdly attracted”
to beautiful code and type
theory and was known at
his university as “the Java
guy.” What’s behind the
attraction? For one thing,
Malawski likes that there
are many stable and open
source libraries available for
Java. “I once found myself
debugging deep into the
standard networking libraries. Having the sources
available made finding
the overly weird bug a
breeze. It would have been
a pain without source code
access,” he explains.
Malawski wants to con-
tinue strengthening the
Java community in Poland,
where he’s an active mem-
ber of the Polish Java User
Group and a speaker and
organizer of programming-
related events. He’s also
part of the planning com-
mittee for GeeCON, a con-
ference focused on Java and
Java Virtual Machine–based
technologies that is held
in Poland every May. In
the future, Malawski looks
forward to learning more
about Java so he can both
be a better developer and
share his knowledge with
other developers at work-
shops, code retreats, and
conferences. You can read
about the many projects
he’s involved in on his blog,
Blog.Project 13.
