Michał Matusiak is a Senior Software Engineer at Asana. They is proficient in English. Colleagues describe them as "I was lucky to work with Michał during his transition to Engineering Manager role, just as we've been kicking off a very challenging project across the whole org. While he has undoubtedly proved his value as an engineer during his career in Sumo, I could easily see why this move makes a lot of sense. He has many personality traits, you'd expect from the leader: professionalism in communication (also when it comes to providing feedback, or announcing somehow difficult news), positive attitude, great sense of responsibility/ownership and care about other people. While making sure that projects are on track, he's capable of brings sense of calm and leaving enough room for the team members. Despite his very strong technical background, he's withholding from the temptation of micromanaging, by actively listening and asking right questions to ensure good alignment with the company goals. I think that all of these has enabled us to succeed as a newly formed team in the mentioned project and later getting intact throughout many difficult organisational changes. Over time, he has efficiently overseen multiple initiatives simultaneously, ranging from bootstrapping a staff+ strategic project from the ground up (that I was also involved in), through many cross-org efforts (like on-call quality, internship program, cost reduction, onboarding remote team members etc), to ensuring efficient transformation of the metrics product, including tech-debt management. It is definitely great to work both "with" and "for" Michał." and "Michal was a part of the development team that I was leading. Michal is definitely a person you can rely on with development tasks. He is well-organized, focused and eager to jump into the most difficult and challenging problems. I would say that 'productive' is a word that best describes Michal as a software engineer. He is able to deliver solutions very quickly without compromising the quality. He is a person who cares about his continuous self-improvement. I know he has invested some free time into getting a deeper understanding of product's technologies. I recommend Michal without hesitation as I know that he would be a valuable addition to any development team."
