Hi, I’m Michal

Cloud architect and technology leader, focused on building secure, scalable platforms and making complex technology work for people.

About me

I’m a cloud-centric architect and manager with 18+ years of experience across infrastructure, networking, security and cloud. My work spans Azure and Google Cloud, from defining strategy and architecture to leading teams and end-to-end delivery.

With extensive experience in the EU banking sector, I’ve worked on secure and compliant solutions aligned with PCI-DSS, CIS, NIS2 and DORA. I bring a defense-in-depth mindset to architecture, with a focus on zero trust and resilience.

I’m also passionate about AI innovation: from enterprise-scale AI Foundry transformation and secure GenAI architectures to LLM vulnerabilities and code injection. I enjoy bringing people together to turn ambitious ideas into practical outcomes.
