### I Spent 6 Months Building AI Tooling for a Problem Nobody Was Measuring. Then I Open-Sourced It.

LinkedInApr 2026Open Source · AI Engineering · Claude Code · TypeScript

Every AI workflow I ran was a black box — no cost visibility, no quality tracking, no way to compare approaches. So I built mcp-ts-engineer: spec-driven TDD, multi-agent orchestration, per-session cost tracking, and automated code review for Claude Code. It turned my guessing into engineering. The repo is public because this problem isn't just mine.

### Half My Calendar Is Empty on Purpose. I Use It to Ship Code.

LinkedInApr 2026Engineering Management · Leadership · Distributed Teams · Mobile SDK

I lead a 4-engineer distributed squad building mobile SDKs and write code every day. The default EM calendar is packed with alignment meetings and status updates. I deleted half of mine — kept 1:1s, sprint planning, and incident response. Everything else has to earn its slot. The result: I catch architecture issues before standup, I pair on hard bugs without context-switching, and my team stopped asking 'can you review this?' — because I'm already in the codebase.

### Same Feature, 3 Ways: Manual vs AI Agent vs Multi-Agent Pipeline

LinkedInMar 2026AI · Multi-Agent Systems · Software Engineering · TypeScript

The cheapest option wasn't the best. The fastest wasn't the cheapest. And the most expensive one had zero bugs. I built the same feature three ways — by hand (4 hours, $0), with a single Claude Code session (45 minutes, $1.80), and through a multi-agent pipeline with spec review, TDD, and automated auditing (20 minutes, $3.40). Here's what the data says about when each approach actually wins.

### 3 Numbers I Track Every Time I Use Claude Code

LinkedInMar 2026AI · Claude Code · Developer Productivity · Metrics

AI makes some tasks 5x faster and others quietly 2x worse. The data shows which is which. For my first 50 sessions I had no idea if I was improving or just getting comfortable with mediocre output. Then I started tracking three metrics: cost per workflow, lines of code kept vs discarded, and fix cycle count. After 13 years of shipping in Swift and Kotlin, this is how I learned to ship with AI.

### I Built My Portfolio 3 Times With AI Agents. The Third Cost 70% Less.

The difference wasn't the AI model. It was what I measured between attempts. Three tries at building a portfolio site with Claude Code — first attempt: $4.50 and two hours debugging garbage. Second: $2.10 and noticeably better, but I couldn't explain why. Third: $1.40 and production-ready. Here's exactly what changed.

## About

Engineering Manager at Chartboost leading a distributed Mobile SDK squad. My team maintains and extends ad tech SDKs serving billions of impressions across iOS and Android. AI automation powered by Claude Code and Claude Agent SDK offloads the routine work so the team stays focused on what matters for the business.

13+ years shipping native mobile — started in Swift and Kotlin, now TypeScript is my primary language. Led teams from zero-to-one at a fintech challenger bank and built apps that secured Shark Tank funding.

Outside work I explore new tech through side projects. Currently deep into Claude Code, agentic workflows, MCP servers, and multi-agent systems — proving how they multiply what small teams can deliver. Projects like [Mellow](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mellowsleep/id6636552824), Bastion, Voice Note Taker and more.

Based in Warsaw, Cracow, and San Francisco.
