Jakub Uchman-Lach — Senior Full-Stack Engineer
I build web, desktop and AI-driven tools — from the database schema to the last easing curve.
Built brick by brick
I'm Jakub — a senior full-stack engineer from Warsaw. Since 2018 I've been shipping software across the whole stack: web platforms, desktop apps, and lately the tooling that lets AI agents do real work.
Today I'm a senior full-stack developer at IT SOL, where I co-create Canopy — a workstation for running AI coding agents in parallel. Under my own label, brickCode, I take products from an idea to production: data model, API, interface, deployment.
I care about the details you only notice when they're missing: sensible data models, fast feedback loops, accessible interfaces and motion that has a reason to exist.
Away from the keyboard: twelve years of karate, including two silver medals at the World Championships in Rimini, and I'm an instructor in the Polish Scouting Association. Both taught me that good teams — like good walls — are built brick by brick.

- 03GitHub FavoritesChrome extensionYour go-to repositories, one heart away — a hand-picked list right in GitHub's sidebar.
- 04Ralph WiggumCLI · Rust TUIRuns Claude Code in a loop until the task is really done — a completion promise, not a guess.
The tools I reach for. Right tool, not newest tool.
