Bio

Hey there! I’m Daniel Grzonka. I’ve got a solid background in Computer Science with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Cracow University of Technology and a Ph.D. from the Polish Academy of Sciences in collaboration with Jagiellonian University – all with distinctions.

Currently, I’m an Assistant Professor at Cracow University of Technology and also the Vice-Dean for Education at the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics. I’m proud to be a START 2019 laureate, an award given by the Foundation for Polish Science to some seriously impressive young scientists. Plus, I’m part of the Polish Information Processing Society.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some cool places like ABB ISDC, CDN-Partner, and universities like AGH University of Science and Technology and Jagiellonian University. My research dives into several fascinating areas of computer science, but I’ll spare you the list-let’s just say it keeps me pretty busy!

WordPress Origin Story

So, you want to know how I got tangled up with WordPress? It’s been a wild ride that started over a decade ago-honestly, it’s a bit of a blur now. What I do remember is that my journey began out of sheer curiosity and a dash of necessity. I’m a total self-taught techie who just dove right in.

Back in the day, I started setting up WordPress sites for various research groups, events, organizations, and competitions. It seemed like everyone needed a website, and WordPress was there to make that happen smoothly. I even managed the digital presence for my brother’s business using, you guessed it, WordPress. And of course, how could I resist not using the world’s most popular content management system for my own personal site?

What’s kept me hooked? It’s the simplicity, flexibility, and the amazing community around it. Whether it was for academia, professional events, or just helping out in the family business, WordPress has been my go-to tool for bringing ideas online. Can’t wait to see where it takes me next!
