We care about usability, accessibility and SEO, not just looks. #### Security & privacy Privacy by design, infrastructure modernization and hardening, analytics and access governance. Security as part of the system, not an add-on. #### Edge, IoT & hardware Prototyping devices and distributed systems: Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers, embedded Linux, sensors and audio/video streaming. #### Buildings & facilities Video monitoring, access control, networks and sensors for housing communities, offices and companies. Modern systems instead of a random set of devices — compliant with regulations, including GDPR. #### Custom R&D We develop solutions for specific client needs: business IT systems, integrations and devices — from idea and prototype to deployment. #### Digital compliance Licenses, user consents, GDPR and AI-generated content. We keep a whole ecosystem of websites compliant with regulations and consistent with its standards. ## Founders’ achievements Kol.ski is a new company, but its founders have worked in technology for years. Their experience covers projects delivered before it was set up — directly and in cooperation with agencies — for startups, agencies and large organizations, in sectors including healthcare, FMCG, e-commerce, telecom, aviation, insurance and e-mobility. A company since 2026, a practice since 2009: the full timeline is on the [founders](https://kol.ski/en/founders) page. - **Many brands, one platform.** We built and maintained the sites of many brands on shared infrastructure, across several markets at once. - **Costs down, scale up.** We cut cloud and operating costs while the number of sites, integrations and automations grew: static publishing and resources that run only when they are needed. - **Security built into the architecture.** We designed infrastructure where every site is isolated and the admin panel sits behind a private tunnel and a sign-in gate. - **Small team, large scale.** A technical team of a few people can run dozens of sites. Scale comes from architecture and optimization, not headcount. - **Access under control.** We organized permissions for many organizations at once — the client, agencies and media houses — in one system. - **Analytics and consent.** We set up analytics, tagging and consent management in one consistent layout for whole portfolios of sites. ### In numbers — projects, technology and community - **30+** years in technology - We saw the early days of the internet in Poland and helped build it from the start: BBSes, forums, websites. - In the ’90s we built PCs and set up home and internal networks. - Own technology practice since 2009, leading large digital environments since 2014. - A sole proprietorship since 2016, the company since 2026 with its body of work brought in under copyright transfer contracts. - From hardware and networks, through web and cloud, to AI workflows. - **−80%** infrastructure and operating costs after a platform rebuild - Achieved while the number of sites, integrations and automations kept growing. - Static publishing instead of always-on servers, machines that switch off when nobody needs them. - One shared platform instead of a separate setup for every site. - **6+ years** without a security incident on the sites we ran - No break-ins, defaced pages or injected spam on the platforms we ran. - The result of rebuilding the infrastructure and keeping it hardened ever since. - Every site is isolated: its own machine, private tunnel and login gate in front of the CMS. - **~250** events organized - Conferences: DevFest, Google I/O Extended, Arduino Day. - Workshops, hackathons, livestreams and mentoring programs. - The largest initiatives run with a team of 30+ co-organizers. - **250+** cloud projects under one governance - Across several organizational structures, with one model of roles and permissions. - From static sites and files, through APIs and databases, to analytics. - More than 40 Google Cloud and Firebase services in use — from hosting to AI. - **20+** years in tech communities - Since 2002: Linux User Group meetups in Warsaw. - Since 2011 as organizers — from Google Technology User Group Warszawa to today’s Google Developer Group Warsaw. - Today it is a community of thousands of members. - **100+** virtual machines maintained - Every site has its own isolated machine. - Machines start for the time of work and switch off by themselves when they are not needed. - Automatic health checks and one panel to manage them all. - **120+** analytics properties brought into one consistent setup - Google Analytics properties for sites and campaigns, plus Tag Manager containers. - One pattern for names, structure and permissions. - Access for the client, agencies and media houses granted and reviewed in one place. - **~150** events supported - Events by other communities, startups and partners — as speakers, mentors or co-organizers. - Work with technology partners, sponsors and global organizations. - In Poland and abroad. - **25+** in-house tools and automations - Static publishing of sites, contact forms, consent and cookies. - Monitoring, panels for managing machines, and task synchronization. - Increasingly with the help of AI — from content analysis to automating repetitive work. ## Community & training **We teach what we practice** It started in the audience. In 2002 Jakub went to a Linux User Group meetup in Warsaw and walked out with his first Slackware live CD. He has been part of the technology community ever since. In 2011 he co-founded Google Technology User Group Warsaw — today Google Developer Group Warsaw, one of the most active developer communities in the world. We still help run it and back it with organization, funding and promotion. ### Formats - Conferences: DevFest, Google I/O Extended, Arduino Day - Workshops and hackathons - Livestreams and educational series - Mentoring for developers and startups - Public speaking - Teach-the-teachers programs ### Topics - Cloud and web technologies - AI workflows - Developer experience - Edge computing and hardware - Digital products ### Abroad Beyond organizing at home, we have represented communities and companies at conferences and summits abroad: the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Czechia and Italy. ### Commercial training Workshops and training for companies: cloud, AI and automation, web technologies, product and UX. For technical and non-technical teams, tailored to the project and the client. ### Design Sprint We use the Google Ventures Design Sprint as a tool for solving any kind of problem — from shaping a new product to improving an existing process. - **5 days.** The full sprint for startups and complex topics: from understanding the challenge to a prototype tested with real users. - **2 hours.** A condensed session for teams and company projects: a shared picture of the problem and a decision on what to do next. ## Founders ### Jakub Kołakowski Co-founder · technology, infrastructure & security Over 20 years in software engineering, cloud, infrastructure and security.
