Hi, I’m Norbert Jakubczak — aka Norbix 👋

I’m a polyglot Software Engineer with a strong focus on Golang and Python, working across the full stack — from backend and cloud infrastructure to frontend integration and developer tooling.

I specialize in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and architecting scalable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems using microservices and modern cloud-native technologies.

Before stepping fully into tech, I was a professional basketball player — a path that taught me discipline, team dynamics, and what it means to perform under pressure. That mindset still drives how I build software today.

“Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.”
