# Now

## building & shipping

• lukasz.kubok.dev v2:Shipping and refining this site — an accessible, keyboard-driven personal engineering garden built on Astro and deployed globally on Cloudflare Workers.
• Production React Native Systems:Architecting cross-platform mobile experiences with 60/120fps fluid animations, custom native bridges in Swift/Kotlin, and robust offline sync primitives.
• Autonomous Agent Tooling:Refining agentic pairing workflows and deterministic context repositories to accelerate iterative software delivery.

## engineering exploration

• Edge Computing & Serverless:Deep diving into edge caching strategies, Cloudflare Workers KV/D1, and zero-cold-start compute patterns.
• Astro Content Layer:Exploring compile-time asset pipelines, type-safe markdown collections, and hybrid edge rendering architectures.
• Mobile UI Performance Profiling:Investigating frame drop mitigation, memory footprint reduction, and gesture response optimization with React Native Reanimated.

## reading & studying

• Designing Data-Intensive Applications:Martin Kleppmann — revisiting core concepts on distributed consensus, partition handling, and stream processing.
• Staff Engineer: Leadership Beyond the Management Track:Will Larson — exploring technical strategy, architectural governance, and engineering influence.
• Local-First Software:Research papers and essays on CRDTs, client-authoritative state, and resilient offline-first architectures.

## location & life

Based in Bielsko-Biała, Poland. Spending non-screen time trail running and hiking in the surrounding Beskidy mountains, reading, and tinkering with mechanical keyboard switches.
