About

I’m Adam Nowak, a Senior Software Engineer specializing in building high-performance, secure, and scalable full-stack platforms. Over the past decade I have delivered multi-tenant SaaS, modernized monoliths into microservices, and led cloud-native deployments on AWS with Kubernetes. I thrive on translating complex business requirements into practical, maintainable architectures and mentoring teams to raise delivery quality and velocity.

I enjoy applying applied AI features such as LLM-assisted workflows and semantic search to empower knowledge discovery and faster decision-making. Beyond coding, I drive reliability through observability, CI/CD automation, and robust security practices, while contributing to a positive, collaborative engineering culture.
