Bio
Magnus Zetterberg
Krzysztof Kondrak has worked for me between Dec -08 until Sept -09. His task(s) has been to learn and transfer all the information needed to migrate from a traditional based hosting of our portal into a virtualised and VmWare based solution. The tremedous task when not having worked with vmware earlier, to setup and run and maintain a full portal through VmWare is a great achievement which Krzysztof dealt with in the best of manners. The level of detail in his documentation and the result from his investigation work during the migration work is key for us and absolutely critical for Power Challenge's move to a virtualized solution which is ready and prepared for the future with its demand for High Availability and scalability. I very much enjoyed working with Krzysztof and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. //Magnus Zetterberg
Anderson Schulle
The times we got to work together on projects and tasks, Krzysztof was always eager as a developer to get things done, and never hesitant to walk the extra mile. Krzysztof has a strong drive to grow and excel and is continuously reading and expanding his knowledge and skills. He is friendly, approachable and a great team player.
