Artur Wierzbicki

Artur Wierzbicki is a Senior Software Engineer at Grafana Labs. Artur has over three years of professional experience, most recently as a Senior Software Engineer at Shipa Freight. There, they acted as a Technical Product Owner/lead in teams of 3 to 6 people, creating, reviewing, and upholding architectural standards for the backend, working with the product and UX design teams to understand the business problems and come up with a solution, driving continuous improvement in the software development process, capturing best-practice knowledge and sharing it across the whole development team, designing, implementing, testing and maintaining code.

During their time at Shipa Freight, Artur completed several notable projects, such as integrating with two IoT vendors to give customers a near real-time shipment visibility as a PoC of a new system architecture, migrating the backend infrastructure from Meteor to AWS ECS, improving system observability by instrumenting all app components with a tracing agent, reducing the time needed to turn a feature on/off by adding the capability to change feature flag state without redeployment, and improving the performance of the most used API query - the location search - from ~2.5s to <0.5s. Artur also has experience integrating with legacy systems, such as migrating a legacy .NET HTTP API to GraphQL.

Artur is skilled in several programming languages and frameworks, including Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, MongoDB, AWS, Oracle, IoT, GraphQL, and Meteor. Artur is also familiar with Scrum and has experience leading software development teams.

Some of their coworkers include Sam Boyer - Principal Engineer, David Kitchen - Director, Engineering, and Matt Mendick - Director, Engineering. Artur Wierzbicki reports to Anthony Woods, CTO & Co-Founder.
