A few words from Michał, JAVA University Trainer
“I’ve been working with coffee for 9 years. I enjoy breaking conventions and encouraging experimentation — inspiring others and showing different possibilities.
During trainings, what matters most to me is effectiveness, created by sharing knowledge in an accessible way and in the most relaxed atmosphere possible — because we learn best when we’re having fun.”
