Hi there! My name's Dominik Stańczak-Marikin and I'm currently a software developer working with data processing pipelines for neurodegenerative disease research at a large pharmaceutical company.
I previously worked at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Warsaw, Poland as a research software engineer, where I helped analyse data from Wendelstein 7-X, the currently (2023) largest stellarator in the world. I consider myself a recovering plasma physicist.
What I do in my spare time
- help out with open source software projects such as PlasmaPy
- tinker, script and automate
- read books and learn lots
- play games - classic RTSes made me who I am now. StarCraft II was a huge part of my life, but nowadays I mostly play Factorio with my wife and Heroes of the Storm to fulfill my competitive needs.
- take care of our dog
- write on my blog (see Posts on the left) to help people out and scratch the teaching itch
- do some light biking and mountain hiking
Where to find me
