MasterBorn

Tech Talk, but make it impossible to ignore. Ever heard of Retail Loss Prevention? Neither had many of us. But thanks to Tomasz Mikunda, our Data & Delivery Leader, we now know: ▪️ How cunning fraudsters and thieves operate ▪️ How to process billions of transactions daily ▪️ Why data is the ultimate detective in this high-stakes game He took us through operational problems, system abuses, fraudulent activities, and straight-up crimes. And he brought the topic to life with DALL·E-generated visuals! 🖼️   Tech Talks by our team are more than code and product metrics. They bring wildly different perspectives from different professional backgrounds to the table, and that’s how we stay ahead.⚡️ And what can we say? We always enjoy a good Tech Talk session on a Friday afternoon to wrap up the week, and this was an eye-opening one!

We're proud to launch our redesigned website, which was made possible through our partnership with MasterBorn. Their team delivered exceptional design work that powerfully communicates our mission while meeting our tight timeline requirements. A special acknowledgment to Julia Hącia for her outstanding design execution that captures the essence of what we do. MasterBorn's pro bono contribution of time and expertise demonstrates their commitment to supporting Naval Special Operations members in their transition to civilian life. This type of partnership enables us to direct more resources toward our core mission. We're grateful to have MasterBorn as an ally in our continued work supporting America's elite warriors.

Testing shouldn’t be an afterthought. And late-stage bugs are like plot twists you don’t want. Fixing them in production? Up to 100 times more expensive.💸 But shift-left testing flips the script—it snipes bugs early, slashes tech debt, and allows faster deployment. High-performing teams know that quality starts on day one! Read how our Quality Assurance Specialists, Dominik Smoroń & Cezary Kociński, break it down in their in-depth blog article. 👉🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJNeM777

How did our CEO and four team members end up running a marathon together in Seville? 🏃🏻♂️💨 It all started with one spark—Gray Skinner, our CEO, who was the first to lace up and plant the seed of a sports culture in our team from day one. Now, we’re crossing the finish lines together. 🏁 For some, it was their first-ever marathon. For others, another milestone. But for all of us, it was about pushing limits and embracing the team spirit—supporting, motivating, and driving each other forward. And Seville? It welcomed them with open arms, sunlit streets, and incredible food! We’re beyond proud of our runners—Gray Skinner, Mateusz Witkowski, Dominik Ziarno, Michał Łowigus, and Ben Wasserman. You inspire us all. Congrats on this incredible achievement! 👏 Running solo is great. Running with a team that lifts you up? That’s the ultimate energy boost. So, what’s your next challenge? Because we’re already lacing up for the next one! 💛

Meet Michał Kordas – the Scrum Master & Team Lead from Wrocław, who keeps us agile, aligned, and always moving forward! 🚀 With 16 years in IT and 4 in consulting before that, he's a walking playbook of perspectives. He's worn many hats, from Product Owner to Director, but his passion for Scrum & Agile Coaching won him over. Why? Because no two days are the same, and he thrives on the challenge of bringing order to complexity. 🟡 Michał's superpower is taking scattered ideas, viewpoints, and goals and turning them into a high-performing machine—whether at the team level or across the entire organization. He's a natural builder, mentor, and strategist who asks the tough "WHY" questions to get to the heart of every challenge. Favorite Quote 🎙️: "We don't need an accurate document. We need a shared understanding." – Jeff Patton What about off the clock?  If there's a soccer match happening, Michał's already on it—whether he's playing, watching in the stands, or cheering from the screen. His loyalty runs deep for Śląsk Wrocław, FC Barcelona, and Manchester United.⚽ Loves to travel with his family too! Oh, and did we mention his stand-up humor? Michał stays up to date with global and Polish comedians, but you'll quickly learn that he finds leadership and development content just as engaging and entertaining, always seeking to level up his skills and insights. Michał, we're lucky to have your leadership and vision shaping MasterBorn's future! 💛

On Fridays, we talk. And the best part is that every Friday is different and inspiring, thanks to our TechTalk sessions. Take a recent example: Antoni Orfin, our Chief Architect, showcased AWS cost optimization techniques that help us consistently reduce cloud costs by 40%–70% for our customers. Here are some key takeaways: 👉 Adjusting AWS S3 storage classes can reduce costs by 50% while maintaining performance and reliability. 👉 AWS offers significant hidden value, particularly in security, where you can reduce spending tenfold compared to third-party security vendors. 👉 Purchasing AWS through a reseller can unlock up to 15% savings with the Enterprise Discount Program. This approach is growth through efficiency at its finest. 💥 Looking to achieve cost optimization success? Let’s talk: https://lnkd.in/deUBVpH3 #techtalk #AWS #cloud #costoptimization #infrastructure

Say hi to Marika Zagórska - our Product Designer based in Wrocław, originally from Szczecin! 🙌 During her Computer Science studies, she realized coding wasn’t quite her thing and became curious about UI/UX design. After graduation, an internship gave her hands-on experience in the field—and she was hooked! “Good design is where beauty meets function,” she says. Now, as a Product Designer, she finds joy in refining and improving interfaces. For Marika, it’s all about those small tweaks and turning “good enough” into just right. At MasterBorn, she feels lucky to be part of a team where collaboration is key and learning never stops. The combination of great teamwork and thoughtful design makes the process truly rewarding for her. ✨ Oh, and let’s not forget Marika’s passionate non-work side! She loves any sport - tennis, volleyball, you name it - but water sports have her heart. Kitesurfing and wakeboarding are her absolute favorites - there’s just something about being out on the water that she can’t get enough of!🌊 It may surprise you also that: 🟡 She knows by heart the lyrics to every song she listens to! 🎶 🟡 She loves playing Macau and never misses a chance to challenge her friends. 🟡 She’s a huge fan of Italian food and wine, with a special love for carbonara. Creamy pasta, crispy pancetta, and a sprinkle of Parmesan - that’s her idea of pure comfort on a plate! 🍝❤️ This is the spirit that makes our team one of a kind. So thrilling to have you on board, Marika!
