🚀 Mission Accomplished & New Horizons Ahead! 🚀
Hey LinkedIn,
After 2 years at Allegro Mall Group as the head of Mall engineering and later the head of Mall and CZC technology organizations, I wrapped up my mission earlier this summer. I'm proud to say it was a success! With the help of my amazing colleagues, we:
🔍 Navigated the due-diligence phase for Mall Group's purchase by Allegro.
🔄 Transformed the organization from Mall to Allegro, changing the organization from 200 to 2000 tech team members!
🚀 Launched allegro.cz and brought in Mall and CZC as vendors without incidents and on schedule.
💰 Identified and implemented numerous savings to optimize operations during an ecommerce downturn.
✅ Kept things running smoothly, achieving the lowest ever annual downtime for the Mall platform
It's been a journey of growth, challenges, and invaluable experiences.
Since the time I left the company, I…
🌴 I took some time off not just to recharge, but to dive deep into personal and professional development. In our fast-paced industry, staying updated is a challenge, especially when juggling work and family. The time I was able to spend on this has been invaluable!
🤖 I've dived deep into the captivating world of generative AIs, particularly Stable Diffusion. The pace at which this field is evolving is nothing short of light speed.
And I’ve had Chat GPT by my side as my coding companion for my coding project. The incremental value of using generative LLMs to enhance one’s workflow is off the charts 📈
🏋️♂️ On a personal note, I've been prioritizing my health. I admit, I've overlooked some warning signs in the past, thinking I was invincible. A severe back issue was a wake-up call, reminding me that health should never take a backseat.
🤝 I've also been reconnecting with industry peers, friends, and exploring exciting business ideas that I can't wait to share with you all soon.
⚓ Oh, and did I mention? I'm on my way to obtaining a sea captain’s license!
But in the end I found one thing: I need a purpose-driven job. As surprising as it might sound to some, I've realized that having a job, a mission, is integral to my identity.
So, as I embark on this new chapter, I'm open to opportunities and collaborations.
Anchors away and full sails ahead to the next adventure! ⚓🌊"

1mothe quality of lululemon has gone down and they are doing nothing to protect their employees with the consistent and constant grab and gos, I’ve been called multiple names and slurs just in my year of working there. They also love to preach and pretend they are for the people and employees but as a black and gay man it never once felt that way. They also don’t have a grace period for employees who take public transportation so I was recently just fired for being 120 seconds late due to public transportation with proof. Terrible company to work for.
