Since this course isn't about myself but you might want to know my credentials. My name is Mateusz and I'm a seasoned software engineer with over 12 years of industry experience. I've had the privilege of working in diverse development teams from Europe, US and Asia. My journey with React began in 2017, and since then, I've built a bunch of medium and large-scale applications. This means you'll be learning from someone who has not only mastered these technologies but also applied them extensively in real-world scenarios.
