About Jakub Petrykowski

I'm a technology and learning & development professional with experience in product management, software development, business analysis, software B2B presales, working with remote teams, good command of English, hands-on UX skills, and CS degree from Wroclaw University. I make the teams I work with stronger and smarter. Top personal interests:* High quality learning design. How do we get good at something? • Instilling positive change in individuals and teams through deliberate practice, training, coaching, organizing knowledge, and other means. • Psychology of mastery, habits, emotions, relationships, stress & health Website: Over the past ten years I had the luck of working as product manager at Google, user experience specialist in a top interactive agency in Poland (Janmedia), technical co-founder of a software startup (Pokerazor), technical and soft skill trainer, software engineer working on an e-commerce platform (Divante), and finally in several business and technology focused roles at Objectivity, including business analysis, business development and data engineering. Currently I design & implement learning experiences for a graph analytics tech startup, and run AI automation experiments around expert knowledge extraction & production of quality instructional design materials.
