Maciej Sachse

I'm passionate about innovation and a builder in any form, whether the medium is code, a prototype, a kinetic installation, or a team around a problem. Once I can see the path to a goal I'm the kind of person who walks it all the way, and there is always a half-finished side project running in the background. I call them works in progress. My family calls them furniture.

Born and raised in Gdańsk, I've spent most of my adult life moving between Warsaw and Delft, collecting the habits of both cities along the way: Polish stubbornness about finishing what I start, Dutch patience for letting a design argue with itself before I commit. Scouting came early, which is probably where the outdoor streak and the "just try it" instinct come from, along with a lasting conviction that most things can be fixed with rope.

I start most days by planning over coffee. Not a long, slow morning, just a short moment to set the frame so the rest feels built rather than scheduled. Evenings are usually for reading, or quietly assembling the next thing I haven't told anyone about yet. Away from the desk I'm drawn to hitchhiking and long trips; Africa especially has a pull on me.
