Communicate, develop and deliver.
Continuously.

What is DevOps?

As Wikipedia says: DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) which aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. In simple words – DevOps is a philosophy that brings together every branch from software development process – development, operations, testing and business. This collaboration creates unique chance to develop quicker, more stable code, shorten the time-to-market and reduce human errors by automating everyday activities. Everything that while providing proper communication and feedback culture.

What I do?

I consider DevOps as a merge of technical and communication skills. Since DevOps highly relies on people, communication, processes and tools – I prepare you and your client for change on both fields. I do audit and consultations, I develop tools and guide the development teams to let you have the best tools for your needs. I coach and train people, teams, management and organisations to communicate better to let you have the best results possible. Everything that is for the realization of your needs and demands to let you have the best result possible when it comes to code quality, quicker delivery, teamwork and the culture transformation.

How I work

Building strategy &
knowledge

Everything begins with a plan. Your needs meet the ideas of realization. Before any technical work I want you to have a full knowledge of how we can approach the transformation.


It's here where we meet and see if and how we can approach your needs and ideas. It's here where I meet your teams and see how we can manage to develop any of your ideas and implement them using best practices.

Development & Implementation

At this point - I develop or help to develop by leading or consulting the best way to implement anything behind the plan to reaching your goal. I do not always hold on to the plan - I inspect and adapt to changing conditions.

I physically develop or guide your units. I coach your teams, I listen and adapt to changing requirements. I want to give you the best tools possible, both when it comes to hard and soft skills.

I will report to you the level of progress of our plan. This way you will have full and transparent idea of how our plan is going.

Monitoring &
Adaptation

The plan is finished. We inspect what we achieved, discuss it and see how we can improve it to meet changing conditions. We adapt the resolution to meet the company's cultural and organizational change.

    Some time ago I created a survey that was meant to help me understand how did mandatory home office affected work-life balance, mental health and general well-being. Note: The survey is still open and can be found here: https://grzegorzochlik.typeform.com/to/RY1fvElk. You are most welcome to add new answers!

    Stereotypowe i (niestety) większości polskich firm standardowe postrzeganie zespołu IT to zespół inżynierów – grupa ludzi, którzy mają tylko i wyłącznie dostarczać. Świat zaczął zauważać, że taki zespół może zawierać mnóstwo różnych osobowości i, że tak naprawdę – każda z tych osób może być inna. W tym wpisie chcę przybliżyć Ci jedną z takich osobowości,

    Swój pierwszy post zaczynam od kluczowej zmiany w organizacji, którą firma musi przeprowadzić, by móc myśleć nad wdrożeniem filozofii DevOps. Bez zmiany kultury organizacji oraz bez świadomości w managementu zespoły mogą wdrażać kolejne elementy filozofii DevOps, jednak prędzej czy później (z doświadczenia wiem, że prędzej) natrafią na ścianę nie do przeskoczenia.

In Sii (one of the biggest Polish IT outsourcing company) I was responsible for implementing DevOps culture and philosophy in both technical and non-technical teams.

I was automating deployments, implementing Continuous Feedback and feedback culture in an organisation. I was coaching and training teams in both technical and non-technical aspects. I was creating automated setups (including desktop apps), automating deployment of microservices and making generic processes.

I was working with management to fulfil the clients's needs to deliver the highest quality possible while maintaining agility.

In mBank (one of the greatest Polish banks) I was responsible for implementing DevOps culture and philosophy in both technical and non-technical teams. I'm coaching teams in communication, training them in remote teamwork and I'm working with management to let them spread the DevOps philosophy.

I was automating deployment of nearly 400 systems on multiple farms (including production), automating maintenance (certificates, user permissions, disk space etc.) for nearly 200 servers.
