Hey, I'm Krzysiek.
Coming, one sec!Come in, the door's open.

The radio has always been on at my place
I've been falling asleep and waking up to the radio since I was a kid. Radio has stayed with me - these days I fall asleep and wake up with Replaio on my mind.
The clock radio from my parents - that's where it all started
Replaio turned into something more than an app: work I enjoy, new friendships, good memories. What I like most is the thought that anywhere in the world, someone nearby might have it on their phone.
The laptop and what gets made on it
Code, systems for companies, ad campaigns, graphics, video - everything gets made on this laptop. I really like this computer.
Coffee first
I used to laugh at this, and now every day at the office starts with coffee.
This page has brewed 191 coffees so far.
I'm a gadget geek
I got fascinated by what a smart home running on Home Assistant can do. I recommend it to everyone, seriously - it's one of the coolest things I own.
Try it live
real recordings from my Home Assistant (in Polish - that's how my home speaks). Turn on the sound
My favorite automations:
trigger: the last person leaves the flat
action: the alarm arms, the lock bolts the door, the lights go off, the TV switches off, and every speaker in the house goes back to its default settings
trigger: Mon–Fri, 8:30, nobody home
action: vacuuming the whole flat
trigger: I head out and I haven't taken my dose
action: a reminder over the speakers and on my phone
trigger: I get back first, nobody else is home yet
action: the barrier opens, the alarm disarms, after dark the lights come on, and music videos from YouTube start on the TV
trigger: the car has been sitting unlocked for 30 minutes
action: push to my phone: "The car has been unlocked for 30 minutes!"
trigger: I head out and unlock the door
action: a voice message over the speakers lists which windows are open
Frames from a drone and a phone
Every now and then I like to send up the drone, shoot a clip, take a few photos. I've been playing with video editing since the days of VHS and the first versions of Adobe Premiere. It stuck.
It'll make my day if you stop by my Instagram.
My reset
Concerts are how I relax and reset my head. I've always wanted to work behind the scenes of a concert at least once - that one hasn't happened yet.
Game(App)Camp
June, Warsaw: the 12th Game(App)Camp Summit at the Google for Startups Campus - two days of apps and mobile games.
TV in the background
When I work from home, I like to have something on in the background. My favourite series relax me like nothing else, and they also help me focus on work. Here is my list:
Grandpa Marian's garage
My grandpa Marian was a PKS Krosno bus driver. Spa towns were his daily routine, but he drove people all over Poland - and beyond. His routes and mine, on one map:
"Grandpa was born a driver, and you a programmer. You both landed in professions that are passions."

The year Replaio took off
2017, the year Replaio launched. A few clippings from the time when everything was picking up speed.
Leaving already?
An automation is already checking whether any windows were left open. The lights will go out by themselves, the door will lock, and if it's his time - the vacuum will start. Want to talk AI, radio or drones? The intercom works.
