As a great team player he managed to engage our internal community to provide ideas and feedbacks. He provided in time top class implementable projects with extraordinary agile and positive attitude.

I had the pleasure of working with Przemek for a couple of years, collaborating on several projects. I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Przemek. He is amazing, multi-disciplinary talent who has amazing understanding of art, UX/UI and gaming industry including mobile, social and real money casino. As a team member or a leader, Przemek earns my highest recommendation.
