My name is Lucas Mendelowski and I’m software engineer focused on building web applications from Krakow, Poland. I mostly work with Ruby (on and off the Rails) and JavaScript (with Ember.js and Vue.js).

This website is my knowledge base of all the things I learned across a variety of languages and technologies.
