Experience
JIRA Wiki Editor
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.plugins.jira-wiki-editor/server/overviewI successfully designed, coded, and shipped the wiki markup editor in JIRA. The editor makes using the wiki markup language in JIRA easier for the users by adding the toolbar and keyboard shortcuts to all the wiki-enabled fields in JIRA.
Viewport
https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/service-deskI was one of the two developers working on a concept Atlassian product named Viewport. The goal of the project was to make issue creation in JIRA easier for non-technical users by providing a simplified UI. The project was such a success that instead of offering a simple add-on Atlassian decided to fund it as a standalone product, JIRA Service Desk.
JIRA Inline Issue Creation
https://www.atlassian.com/software/jiraI was a member of the team of 4 (PM, Designer and 2 Developers) which designed, developed, and shipped a feature in JIRA allowing users to create issues in the context of their Agile board. The widget we created intelligently understands the context user is in and creates issues with fields set to appropriate values so the match currently set filter of the Agile board.

Browsers That Aren't IE8
https://speakerdeck.com/wojtiku/browsers-that-adent-equals-8Slides from my talk given at meet.js Gdańsk, 4Developers 2014, and Front-Trends 2014.
Abstract:
With Windows XP being killed by Microsoft, IE8 has less and less market share every week. That's why companies are deciding to drop the support for this ancient browser. In his presentation Wojtek will try to answer the question of viability of supporting IE8 in your projects. He will also tell you about things that you can start/stop using today if you drop the support. You will be amazed of what you can do in JavaScript right now—without fancy compilers, shims, or hacks.
