// ABOUT

Szymon Paluch

I built a software house and sold it to Diagnostyka, Poland's largest lab network.

At uPacjenta I was CTO. The team grew from zero to 25 people, and the platform to 80,000 customers.

At Golem Network I owned the product for a global AI network.

Now I help funded startups and enterprises ship AI without the consulting bullshit.
