Faculty: Art, Technique and Communication
Field of study: Computer science

He is an experienced educator and software developer with many years of professional experience. He possesses broad practical knowledge across various areas of computer science and mathematics, ranging from programming and academic-level computations to operating systems, multimedia technologies, computer assembly, and installation and reinstallation procedures. He holds an engineering degree in Web Technologies and a Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Business Processes, and Databases. He also has a very modern approach to the broadly understood field of computer science. For many years, he has taught various areas of computer science using the most advanced commercial technologies available on the modern Internet. He is an advocate of doubt-based and uncertainty-driven thinking, with strong tendencies toward identifying potential problems from a broad and long-term perspective.

He has successfully established a strong atmosphere of trust and optimism between himself and students from all around the world. Students greatly enjoy his classes and appreciate his sense of humor, dedication, and commitment. He is an academic lecturer who is willing to conduct thirty-minute consultations and is always eager to advise and help any student who needs assistance. He is a strong and important part of the spirit of Vistula.

Outside academia, he has independently developed his musical abilities since a very young age. He can play Joe Satriani’s music on the electric guitar and also plays the classical guitar. He is further developing his piano skills by performing music by artists such as Richard Marx, Bryan Adams, and Nightwish, while also studying the music of Frédéric Chopin. As a result of many years of work and experimentation, he developed a learning method that he named “Extremely Gradual Minimization of Limitations,” which enables the mastery of extraordinarily difficult subjects that are normally accessible only to a very small group of exceptionally gifted individuals.

He is capable of composing classical music for a full orchestra. Recently, he wrote two poems for solo instruments—one for violin and one for piano—and completed their mixing and mastering. He uses virtual instruments at a Hollywood cinematic music production level for his compositions. One of his strengths is that for several years he has also been independently developing his so-called “inner hearing,” which constitutes a foundation for achieving absolute pitch. This is the ability to mentally hear a specific violin sound, as well as the sound of an entire orchestra, without relying on a piano for reference. It is a skill traditionally associated with only a few extraordinary composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

He is also a person who has great respect for established authorities in many disciplines. In the field of classical music, he aspires to formalize his compositional skills by obtaining a Master’s degree from Arts University Bournemouth in the United Kingdom through its highly popular distance-learning mode of study.

He also possesses practical skills in the mixing and mastering of classical music. He recently launched his new YouTube channel, Mystery Sound Official. He has strong aspirations to become a pioneer in this field in Poland and a trusted home-recording specialist. Through many years of work, he has developed numerous solutions that make it possible to compose music, including classical music, at the highest level while utilizing home-based resources and technologies. He is also the author of online courses in the field of classical music. Furthermore, he is the originator, owner, and creator of a startup dedicated to popularizing online courses in music production in Poland across the broadest possible spectrum in both Polish and English. The startup’s mission is to gradually offer an alternative to the current trend of excessively extensive online courses by providing rapid commercial access to valuable information. An additional strength of the startup is that the idea originated from the lecturer’s own interests, was created in Poland, and is designed with a global market orientation.

For many years, he has also been working on an interdisciplinary doctoral project intended to combine computer science, programming, algorithms, optimization, artificial intelligence, programming language design, multimedia technologies, music production, and IT management.
