Rafał Kondrat

VAssistant Founder & Builder

My journey started with a Commodore 64 and Amiga, discovering programming through BASIC and AMOS. I was deploying web pages back in the 2000s, when the modem dial-up sound was the soundtrack of innovation. 20+ years later and almost 2 decades of professional full-stack development, what matters most is still the same — understanding the need, but this time YOUR need, not MINE. I speak both tech and business fluently, turning your vision into working products and explaining complex solutions in simple, practical terms. I treat every project as a real problem to solve for real people, not an excuse to write fancy code. Solving the problem is the only metric that counts.

What Drives Me

Your Need First

I focus on understanding YOUR need, not pushing my agenda. Your goals drive every decision.

Problem Solver

I treat every project as a real problem to solve for real people — not an excuse to write fancy code.

Tech & Business Fluent

I speak both languages, turning your vision into working products and explaining complex solutions in simple terms.

Validate First

Test before you invest. I help validate ideas with landing pages and POCs before committing to full development.

AI-Powered Delivery

Smart tools and AI-assisted development mean faster delivery without compromising quality. Human oversight guaranteed.

Lifelong Learner

From Commodore 64 to AI-assisted development — constantly evolving with technology while keeping the fundamentals solid.
