Gonsior Skein

The collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge.

Gonsior Logo

We aren't senior architects with decades of experience (yet). We are a Polish (gurom) group of students who decided to stop watching endless tutorials and start writing actual code. We build stuff out of curiosity, go to hackathons, break things, then we try to fix them and learn in the process of doing so how software engineering really works in the wild.


THE CREW

Image Franciszek — Systems & DevOps Explorer | Linux Docker Bash Python
The infrastructure guy. I'm moving away from just writing code to figuring out how to deploy, scale, and host it. Currently deep into Linux, containerization (Docker), and automation scripts. My main goal right now is mastering cloud environments and preparing for Kubernetes. If it involves setting up servers, writing deployment pipelines, or breaking environments just to figure out how to fix them, I'm in. Also contributing to open-source (Tauri, Ladybird) on the side.

Image Piotr — Backend Architecture | Java Spring Boot PostgreSQL
The backend guy. Mostly wrangling Java and figuring out how to build REST APIs that don't instantly crash the moment a real user tries to interact with them. I spend my time making sense of server-side chaos, connecting relational databases, and ensuring data flows smoothly. Currently, I'm deep into writing my engineering thesis, where I'm benchmarking and comparing the speed and overall performance of different server-side solutions. Basically, trying to scientifically prove which architecture handles the heat best. If you need a solid Spring Boot foundation or someone to obsess over response times, I'm your guy.

Image Antoni — NLP & Data Explorer | Python Pandas NLP
The guy... that speaks languages? Yeah, plenty of them actually: Polish, English, French, and Arabic. I decided to mix my Arabic studies with programming, which naturally dragged me straight into the rabbit hole of Natural Language Processing. Since I spend half my life analyzing how human languages work, I figured I might as well teach machines to do the same. I spend most of my coding time writing Python scripts and trying to extract meaningful, structured data from giant, chaotic walls of text. Basically, I take unstructured linguistic chaos and turn it into something our backend guys can actually use.


WHAT WE DO

Instead of just doing university homework, we try to test our skills where it matters:

  • HackYeah 2025 — On the biggest on-site hackaton in Europe we built Reign of Abaddon, a custom card-based Dungeon Crawler in Godot
  • Kościuszkon 2026Currently getting ready.
  • HackYeah 2026Loding...

OPEN FOR GIGS

We are actively looking for junior roles, internships, and freelance gigs. If you need a hungry, dedicated team for a junior project, or if your company is looking for interns who actually code in their free time — let's talk. We can help with setting up basic Linux/Docker environments, building MVPs, or automating boring processes.


JOIN THE CREW (WE ARE RECRUITING)

Tired of coding alone in your room? Let's build something together.

We are dedicating a lot of our time to finding new people who want to get their hands dirty with real projects.

What you DON'T need:

  • A massive portfolio.
  • 5 years of commercial experience.
  • Perfect knowledge of every framework out there.

What you DO need:

  • Willingness to learn and try new things.
  • The drive to actually contribute to a team project.
  • A sense of humor and patience when our code inevitably breaks.

Whether you are just starting out and want to build your first real app, or you are looking for a team to hit the next hackathon with — drop us a message. We share knowledge, review each other's code, and build things we can all proudly put on our resumes.
