Bio
Anna Hofman
Rafał is a versatile project manager with strong attention to detail and great leadership skills. I had the opportunity to work with him on various projects at QED Software (from game development oriented ones to AI focused) and the cooperation was always smooth and effective. Yet, what stands out to me the most about Rafał is his understanding of people and his care for their wellbeing, which results in him being one of the most trusted and respected managers I have worked with. Without a doubt, I can recommend Rafał as a manger who knows when to support and when to challenge, and who will make sure the project achieved its goals.

Rafał is this type of a manager who knows what he's doing. Not only has he great leadership and interpersonals skills but he also has an experience in areas he is responsible for as a manager. That is what makes him so succesfull as a Head of Development in our company. Thanks to knowledge of UI/UX design, game design, graphic design and many others, he is well capable of smooth management in different areas combined together. What is also worth mentioning, Rafał is a manager who gives opportunities and highly supports professional growth of his team members.
