Seen Through Others

I’ve already shared how I see my own journey: the curiosity, the mistakes, the constant learning. But no matter how much I talk about products or teams, there’s one truth that keeps repeating itself: nothing meaningful is ever built alone. Every product I’ve worked on has been the result of close collaboration—between internal teams and external partners, between business minds and technical experts, between people who bring different strengths to the same mission.

This article isn’t about listing references or testimonials. It’s about the moments of synergy that shaped my work, and the people I’ve been fortunate to build with along the way.

Building What Doesn’t Exist Yet — With RITE

When I partnered with RITE, the task was clear, turn ideas like Coinswap and Metapro into full-scale products. I stepped in as the owner and leader of the project, while RITE brought in a dedicated team of engineers to extend what we could achieve. What began as outsourcing quickly turned into something much deeper—a collaboration where both sides pushed each other further.

What made this partnership special was how their team didn’t just plug into our work, but actually allowed us to scale our own internal team as well. Over the years, my core group worked side by side with the engineers from RITE, learning from each other and blending into a single extended team. That long-term cooperation shaped how we built products and how we grew as an organization.

I owe a lot to that collaboration. RITE didn't just provide people, they gave us competencies, insights, and ways of working that raised our standards. To this day, I truly value the technical calls I still have with Michal Nikolajuk, RITE's founder, where we exchange experiences and challenge each other's thinking. Those conversations remind me why collaboration matters: when teams complement each other, the result is always stronger than what either could build alone.

High Speed, High Stakes — With Drift Masters

Working with Drift Masters was unlike any other experience. Motorsport doesn’t wait—deadlines are sharp, events are live, and mistakes are public. Together, we built a fully custom scoring system, fan engagement tools, and platforms for virtual tournaments.

But what made it special was the collaboration with people like Slawek, Mateusz, and the whole team at Ragnar Simulators, who helped bring the virtual tournaments to life using the tools my team at Augmented Life Studio created. It wasn't just a service delivery—it was a true partnership where every part had to fit perfectly, because the show had to go on. That intensity forged trust, and trust turned into one of the most rewarding collaborations I've ever had.

Scaling Stories Into Games — With Enginious

My work with Enginious was all about blending entertainment with Web3. Together with Piotr Kocel and Wojtek Markowski, I learned an incredible amount about how to design economies inside mobile games and how to keep players engaged. We didn't just build projects like Degen Youki—we spent countless hours talking with their team about how tokenomics could expand the value that games bring to players.

That exchange of knowledge was invaluable. They’ve often said I brought clarity and product vision to the table. What I felt was that they gave me a new lens for seeing games: not just as experiences, but as living ecosystems where community, economics, and fun all have to coexist.

Big Stages, Big Brands — With Frenzy and ESE Entertainment

The collaboration with Frenzy was another kind of partnership altogether. Working with Michal Mango and Jedrzej Steszewski, I found a team that knew how to balance creativity and discipline in equal measure. Together, we also connected with their Canadian parent company, ESE Entertainment, and leaders like Konrad Wasiela and Zack Dolesky.

What we worked on together wasn’t small—it was strategy at the scale of global brands like Formula 1 in Miami and Melbourne. Planning digital product strategies for such names demanded both vision and execution, and it only worked because every party treated the partnership as a shared mission.

The Long Game — With Droids on Roids (Apadmi)

My collaboration with Droids on Roids has been one of the longest and most transformative journeys I’ve ever been part of. Together, our teams started from scratch, building what at the beginning was nothing more than a simple non-custodial wallet designed with the metaverse in mind. Over the years, that small, focused tool evolved into mOne, a true superapp.

Step by step, the app grew into something much bigger: a platform where users can play games, access decentralized applications, use on-ramp and off-ramp services, and manage their digital assets with ease. But it didn’t stop there. What began as a wallet slowly transformed into a social application, one that connects communities as much as it manages value.

This wasn’t a straight road. It was years of close collaboration between my internal team and the engineers at Droids on Roids, facing challenges we had never seen before. We weren’t just building features—we were often discovering entirely new areas of product design, architecture, and user experience. There were moments when none of us knew the answers, but we learned them together, turning uncertainty into capability.

That partnership taught me that innovation at scale isn’t just about brilliant ideas or technical skills. It’s about endurance, trust, and the ability to keep building side by side—even when the goalpost moves, the market shifts, or the product itself transforms into something no one imagined at the start. mOne is the best proof of that: a product born out of persistence, shared vision, and a partnership that grew stronger with every iteration.

Why Collaboration Matters

Looking back at these stories, I see a pattern: the best work always came from combining strengths. My internal teams brought ownership and vision; partner teams brought fresh skills, experience, and new ways of thinking. When those forces met, something unique happened—something none of us could have built alone.

That’s what others often highlight when they talk about working with me: the ability to lead with clarity, but also to listen, to integrate, and to create a sense of shared purpose. And maybe that’s the real lesson. In a world where technology evolves daily, the most important skill isn’t just coding or strategy—it’s the ability to build collaboration strong enough to carry an idea all the way from a sketch to a living product.
