Speaker: Tomasz Nurkiewicz

Tomasz Nurkiewicz is a senior software engineer at Allegro. Tomasz has spent half of his life programming (for the last decade professionally in Java land). He loves backend, tolerates JavaScript, is passionate about alternative JVM languages, is disappointed with the quality of software written these days (so often by himself!), and hates long methods and hidden side effects. Tomasz is interested in charting, data analysis and reporting and believes that computers were invented so that developers could automate boring and repetitive tasks. He is involved in open source and used to be very active on StackOverflow. Tomasz is an author, trainer, conference speaker, technical reviewer, and runner and has been recognized as DZone’s most valuable blogger. He claims that code not tested automatically is not a feature but just a rumor.
