Szymon Klimaszewski

Hi, I'm Szymon

I wrote my first Android app back in 2011 and never really stopped. Some apps I grew from nothing to millions of users, others already had millions when I showed up and I got to make them better.

I live in Racibórz, where I grew up. I spent 16 years in Wrocław studying and then working, and moved back in 2022. Married, two kids, and since 2026 a Lagotto Romagnolo puppy.

Now

  • Looking for my next Android role, lead or senior, on pretty much any kind of mobile app. I can start right away.
  • Getting the most out of AI coding agents: custom skills and tools, and multi-agent workflows that take tasks from ticket to review.
  • In my spare time I keep my own apps up to date. They're where I try new Android and iOS features before I need them at work.

How I work

product
I want to know whether people actually use what we shipped, and I'll change it if they don't.
tech
Scott Meyers said to make code easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. I still ask myself that every day, and it's why my code tends to last.
ux
People notice when an app feels good, even if they can't say why.
business
I test pricing instead of guessing, but I want people to pay because the app is worth it, not because cancelling is hard.
people
I like teaching what I know, from a quick pairing session to running a course. A team that learns together gets faster every month.

Also

  • I enjoy teaching. I've written and run an iOS course for a group of 11 developers at Comarch, and the code is open · course code ↗

AGENTS.mdhow I work with AI

I build agent workflows for the everyday parts of the job, and each month a bit more of the routine work moves to them.

## What agents do for me

  • Features: from a spec ticket to a reviewed and tested change
  • Analytics: checking the numbers and acting on what changed
  • Crashes: triaging new crash reports and filing issues

## On my own apps

  • Store listings in over 30 languages, with keyword research and copy done by a chain of agents

## How it works

  • A personal system of skills, commands, routines and MCP servers, built the Atomic Habits way: one small fix at a time
  • Testing agents that use the app on a real Android device, the way a person doing QA would
  • Agents from different vendors working on the same problem from different angles
  • Background agents that keep an eye on things and pick up the next step on their own
