At present I work as independent contractor. If you are interested in my services, feel free to contact me via email wicharek@gmail.com. At the moment I am not interested in full-time office positions.
I also work on my own game products. If you are interested in any type of partnership: publishing my work or creating some cool stuff together. I would love to hear from you too.
