Miłosz Piechocki Software Architect I'm a passionate full-stack web developer and a software architect. I'm fascinated by functional programming. I’ve been using Angular and AngularJS for few years. I love sharing my knowledge as a public speaker at meet-ups and conferences. I run a programming blog and wrote an e-book about functional programming in JavaScript. I’m also an open-source contributor and a trainer. Privately, I love hiking in the mountains and having a good beer in a great company.

Can you tell us something about yourself? Like, who are you and what do you do? I’m a software developer, public speaker, blogger and a huge fan of good beer (in a good company)! During the day I build applications in Angular and .NET and at night I write posts for my blog and practice to become a better speaker. I love to hike in the mountains but when there are none nearby than I resort to running. What made you choose the path of a programmer/techie? I wrote my first computer program in Microsoft Basic when I was seven years old. I remember being excited about discovering a completely new world where I could unleash my creativity. It was like LEGO bricks on steroids! Since that time it’s been obvious to me that I want to become a programmer. Is that what you dreamed of doing? Definietly, I’ve never regretted that decision. If you had to choose a different profession, what would it be? So far I’ve been really enjoying my public speaking endeavors which makes me think I might be a good teacher. Besides, my parents are teachers so I could use some of their experiences. Do you think that software rules the world? No, I don’t think so. Software is just a tool and there are always some human beings
