About Me

Rafał Buczkowski

I'm an IT student deeply into software development. Mostly, I build web applications, but I also really enjoy working on various academic and personal projects. I don't limit myself to one path — I'm naturally curious and always looking to pick up new tools and technologies along the way.

Whether it's a university assignment or a side project, I treat it as a chance to push my skills a bit further and bring ideas to life through code. I simply enjoy the process of figuring things out and making them work.

Outside of my main focus, I like to experiment with things that interest me. Lately, that's been game development and music production. It's nothing too serious yet — just exploring, channeling my creativity, and having fun with it in my free time.
