Hello! My name is Jakub Paweł Cichon. I'm passionate about technology.
Hello! My name is Jakub Paweł Cichon.
</h2>
<p class="mt-3">
I'm an IT Professional with 5 years of experience supporting enterprise applications
in the banking industry. I communicate in English fluently and have a working proficieny in Polish.
I've got a degree in Statistics from the University of Connecticut and I find myself drawn to technology
beccause of what it enables me to do. What I enjoyed most about my academic experience was writing code
in R and Python for statistical computing. I worked as a Web Infrastructure Specialist at a banking software
company in Connecticut starting in September 2018 until April 2023 when I stepped away to take a chance
and reset my career. I'm currently working at a local university supporting the campus ERP software and
other software tools and products the school relies on.
I have experience with supporting large distributed applications, application deployment, shell scripting,
CLI tool development and incident management. I love finding ways to make my team's daily work more efficient.
I like to build tools to solve my own problems.
I'm constantly on the hunt for new knowledge and if there were a certification for internet-searching your
way out of a problem, I'd have one. I'm also a fan of open source software.
I'm a highly technical IT Professional with 6 years of experience. I find myself drawn to technology
because of what it enables me to do. What I enjoyed most about my academic experience was writing code
in R and Python for statistical computing. I found that love for solving problems with code manifested
itself again when I joined the workforce. I worked as a Web Infrastructure Specialist at a banking software
company in Connecticut starting in September 2018 where I had the oppurtunity to support critical enterprise
applications and learn a whole lot more about web technologies and infrastructure than I ever knew, while at
the same time learning there was so much more that I didn't know. What started as a level 1 position focused
primarly on supporting a million+ user web application with on-premise infrastructure, and doing sometimes
repetitive but critical work, blossomed into a role where I learned the power of automation, I discovered
the joy of code through learning PowerShell, and I served as a force multiplier for my team by enabling them
with custom tools that reduced toil. My ultimate goal was to transform my role into one that aligned with
what I had discovered about myself: I like to a) question assumptions, b) solve real problems that you can
only identify by doing the actual work, and c) learn new things for the sake of knowledge (I value
competency, and strive to improve mine). In September 2022, I enrolled in a Full Stack Coding Bootcamp that
enriched me with modern web application devlopment practices and gave me an environment to work
collaboratively with eager students of the craft. Given I was still working full-time, this was both a
thrilling and exhausting endeavor, though it was invaluable experience despite the latter. After the end of
the program, I decided to leave my current employer to take a break and pursue the next phase of my career.
In hindsight, I can say that -- given the tech job market -- this wasn't my best idea! I had a brief stint
at a local university doing application support, and decided to return to my former employer in a new role
and a new domain, focused on technical risk and security.

I'm professionally experienced with supporting distributed applications, application deployment, automation,
tool development, and incident management. I love the power of shell scripting, whether it is PowerShell or Bash.
I like to build tools to solve my own problems. I'm constantly looking to fill the gaps in my knowledge. I'm
particularly interested in web development, Linux system administration, and the command line interface. I have
a low-stakes homelab set up in which I run Debian Linux on some old hardware with too many hard drives, which
primarily serves as my network storage. I really enjoy using macOS for my main workstation and I've been using Macs
alongside Windows for over 10 years now. I love the UNIX Philosophy. I'm also a fan of free open source software
and the ethos behind it.
