About

Amir Muse Hassan

I'm Adrian Kowalski, a senior software engineer based in Berlin. I build production systems across mobile, AI, and cloud — and I document what I learn along the way.

Personal story

I started coding in university competitive programming teams, then shipped client projects across fintech and energy before joining product companies. Today I lead mobile platform architecture at a neobank while maintaining open source tools and a bootstrapped SaaS on the side.

Mission

Ship software that holds up under real load, mentor engineers who want to grow, and leave systems better documented than I found them.

Values

  • Ownership over tickets — think in outcomes, not tasks
  • Write it down — design docs and public learning beat tribal knowledge
  • Bias to shipping — perfect is the enemy of feedback
  • Security and reliability are features, not afterthoughts
