Hi, I'm Kris Kula #
Welcome to my online home.
If you know Polish, then my full name is Krzysztof Kula. I'm using krzychukula as a unique identifier on the internet (Twitter, etc. in case you want to look for me elsewhere).
I write code, speak, and organize meetups and conferences.
I'm interested in JS, UX, and user-facing sides of the product. Recently I'm spending a lot of my time reading and thinking about mental models, complex systems, stress, and everything else that impacts work and life.
See about me page if you're interested in learning more about me.
