Hi, my name is

Pawel Sloboda.

I build intelligent systems that solve real problems.

I'm a software engineer who builds platforms that people actually use. I've helped uninsured families find free healthcare, scaled learning apps to thousands of users, and built intelligence systems for Fortune 500 companies. I write code that solves problems, not resumes.

About Me

Hello! I'm Pawel, a software engineer who's been building things for the web since I was 12. I started with Adobe Flash games on Kongregate that reached over 50,000 gameplays, and that early experience sparked a passion that's shaped my entire career.

Today, I've built AI-powered health platforms at a social impact startup, developed machine learning pipelines at Adobe, and engineered cybersecurity infrastructure for the Department of Defense. I specialize in full-stack development with a focus on AI integration, vector search, and data engineering.

Here are some technologies I've been working with recently:

  • TypeScript / JavaScript
  • React 19 / Next.js 15
  • Python / FastAPI
  • OpenAI / Responses API
  • PostgreSQL / Prisma
  • Vector DBs / RAG
  • Azure Cosmos DB / MongoDB
  • Docker / GitHub Actions

Where I've Worked

Full-Stack Software Engineer@ Social Impact Enterprise

July 2025 - October 2025

  • Built an AI-driven health-access platform mining 3k+ DMV providers (50k+ services), powering AI copilot and semantic search used by 2 shelters & 30+ caseworkers
  • Deployed Cosmos DB vCore + Azure OpenAI embeddings for sub-second semantic search, cutting RU costs 38%
  • Designed a TypeScript + Python agent framework where LLMs extract insurance/SSN/free-service data with 92% F1, auto-refreshed nightly
  • Refactored Next.js 15 / React 19 front end with shadcn/ui + Tailwind, boosting a11y from 71 → 98 and FCP to 1.2s
  • Launched programmatic SEO engine with 3.5k+ indexed pages, driving 100k+ Google impressions in 3 weeks

Fork This Portfolio

Like what you see? This portfolio is built with Astro + React and is open source for you to fork, clone, and customize.

Why Astro over Next.js?

For a mostly static portfolio site like this, Astro's island architecture is perfect. Only the interactive bits load JavaScript, you sprinkle client:* where you want interactivity, and everything else is pure HTML. Next.js is great for heavy backend and interactive apps, but for content sites? Astro loads way faster.
