Tim Cabbage


Tymoteusz Kapuściński Worked in IT since the age of sixteen, integrated and designed complex systems and APIs ranging from encryption through decentralized synchronization to search engines. Cofounded 4 startups. Occupied many roles including, CEO, CTO, Architect, Product Owner, Instructor, Designer, Developer and Administrator. The skill I value most is absorbtion and synthesis of knowledge quickly and without assistance. As an example - never having worked in React or Redux before, in the first three weeks at Sabre (Airline software industry) I have mastered React/Redux with a custom webpack setup to a point where I was able to train and teach other teams as well as assist and advise team managers and product architects.

Experience

Staff Software Engineer

Kaseya


(2023/2024)

 I was a Staff Software Engineer at Kaseya, primarily focused on developing and improving our cloud-based backup and disaster recovery solution.
In this role I Architected and developed microservices using Typescript, Node.js, and Docker to handle various components of the backup workflow, such as data ingestion, processing, and storage. After noticing a possible future issue connected to server utilization, I optimized and improved the performance of our backup processes by rebalancing the workloads between different storage servers based on resource utilization metrics.
Used technologies:
Node.JS, React.JS, ZFS, MySQL, AWS, Azure, Kaseya Cloud and more.

Team Lead, Architect

Sabre


(2017-2018)

 In the architecture team, our task was to do pre-production on various projects, analyzing systems, setting up frameworks, API systems, interactions, and coming up with solutions to problems.
A single person from my team would be assigned to a particular project where for the next 3-4 months we would make sure they're able to finish the project. We would perform training sessions (usually teach people with exclusively Java experience to become adept at writing frontend applications and integrate into the ecosystem as well as how to design backend properly).

Used technologies:
Node.JS, React.JS, Atlassian Jira, Atlassian BitBucket (GIT), Webpack, Jenkins and more.
