Engineers, hobbyists, and  the design oriented community looking looking for an introduction to the technologies and concepts involved in building bots. The experience level could be from beginner to expert, although some familiarity with Node.js and APIs will be assumed. 

Szymon has worked in the software development space for over 14 years taking a shot at everything from Rails to C to Java to Python to .Net. He found a passion working on Windows Desktop trading applications on Wall Street with a focus on the front end user experience. The interest in attention to user interface details would take him on a tour of the different UI technologies on the Windows, Web and iOS/Android platforms. He enjoys leading deep discovery sessions and scoping solutions for his clients. Szymon has managed teams of engineers on a variety of projects and can be commonly found leading engagements, mentoring junior engineers (another passion of his) and collaborating on building team engineering capacity in emerging technologies. Starting in 2016, Szymon has spent all his time dedicated to building bots for clients whether the bot runs on a mobile app, the web or a messaging platform. He has built a practice around the technology and is involved in a handful of bot projects at any time. He has a passion for paying attention to conversational experience details and is a big proponent of getting your bot to do a few tasks really well. He has a deep interest in all things Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. In his spare time he enjoys walking in nature, relaxing on the beach, playing guitar and spending time with his wife Kimberly, his son Theodore and his dog Chelsea. He's an avid reader, especially of things completely unrelated to software development.
