Hi, I'm

Paweł Tomkiel

TL;DR aka Exec summary

This is what I've done

Google Cloud Platform

GCP Professional Cloud Architect
GCP Associate Cloud Engineer December 2020

Google is an engineering company. Their cloud is built by engineers for engineers. That always will be more appealing to me than even greatest set of features from other providers.

My cloud journey continues 🌊

Amazon Web Services

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate September 2020

Despite moving more to the managerial side of business I'm still engineer at heart, hence my first cloud certification.

Agility is incomplete without cloud ☁️

Agile organisations, Deloitte Digital

Podcast host May 2020 - present

I feel really natural in audio and video format. In this podcast we interview our guests or share our own experience from Deloitte's Agile Advisory in Poland.

As an initiator I was (co-)hosting 99% of the 50+ episodes and we reached >30k listeners in first season 🎙

Deloitte Digital, Technology Strategy & Architecture

Senior Specialist January 2020 - present

Being a consultant means using your skills to help clients in a variety of projects. I was playing roles of technical product owner, agile coach, project manager and similar. On one of the projects I spent two years as a product owner of a dozen of backend microservices, serving global traffic ~1M requests monthly for one of the largest financial services companies (occasionally doing hands on coding in typescript which was refreshing).

Quantic School of Business and Technology

Executive MBA October 2019 - December 2020

Being closer to the board in organisation highlighted my weak points in understanding business as a whole. I decided that getting EMBA grade will be the best answer to this.

Building hollistic view on business development. 💰

Scrum.org

Professional Scrum Master™ I & II
Professional Agile Leadership™ I August - September 2019

After feeling agile (and belonging to process people) for few years I decided to check if I really get it. Being certificated by Scrum.org seemed to be the best choice for such assessment.

Agility confirmed. 💪
