I build software that users love to use

About

Hi, I'm Beata

Product engineer with a strong backend core. I build systems in Kotlin and Spring, including event-driven architectures with Kafka, and take features from the first idea all the way to production.

Recently focused on product-oriented engineering and AI-assisted tooling: from multi-tenancy and fine-grained authorization to internal tools that make the whole team faster.

Experience

Where I've worked

From an internship in 2019 to leading the design of platform-wide features today.
