Wojtek Erbetowski

Wojtek Erbetowski is a Site Lead and Engineering Manager at Island, where he's building a new engineering hub in Warsaw. Over nearly 20 years in software engineering, he's worn many hats — from CTO at Codility (the technical assessment platform used by thousands of companies worldwide) and Growbots, to Engineering Manager at Google Cloud, to hands-on engineer across Python, Java, and JavaScript ecosystems. He's interviewed hundreds of software engineers and scaled teams from scratch, including growing one from 10 to 35 people in eight months. Wojtek co-founded L8 Conference for Staff+ engineers and has been organizing meetups and conferences across Poland for over a decade, including Warsaw JUG, Mobile Warsaw, and HackWAW. When not coding or hiring, he's probably running or tending to his small farm in Podlasie.
