I’ve worked with some amazing people over the years, here are some words that they’ve been kind enough to share about working with me.
Software Development Manager at Encompass Corporation
July 20, 2023
I highly recommend Szymon Szukalski for any senior technical leadership role. As his former colleague and direct report at Encompass, I had the privilege of witnessing his exceptional expertise as a software engineer and strategic thinker.
Throughout our ten years of working together, Szymon consistently demonstrated his dedication and problem-solving skills. Szymon’s leadership style is collaborative and inclusive, inspiring teams to excel while keeping company goals at the forefront.
Having worked closely with Szymon, I can confidently say that he is a visionary technical leader with a passion for driving innovation.
I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with Szymon for any senior technical leadership role.
Head of Data Management, Architecture and Governance at Encompass Corporation
February 17, 2023
I have worked closely with Szymon for the last 3 years on a significant data initiative. A talented individual with an exceptional intuition for problem solving, strategic thinking, and technical skills that allow him to design and build solutions in no time.
Brainstorming and architecting solutions with Szymon is like a breath of fresh air because he brings zero ego to the discussion and makes sense out of the complex and complicated very fast. A natural learner who seeks to mature his skills and expertise, he is always happy to research or learn anything that is needed to get the job done.
Szymon has an endless amount of patience and resilience, he is collaborative and inclusive, and brings an encouraging, positive and supportive attitude to everything he is part of.
If Szymon is in the room you know that team collaborations will go well because he will make sure everyone feels welcomed, their views are heard and agreements are reached much more quickly.
I’m happy to recommend Szymon for any technical leadership role he is up for taking.
Senior Business Analyst at Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs

The key benefit of having Szymon on any team is that he has a rare combination of a very strong technical capability as well as excellent communication skills.
As a business analyst working with Szymon, it is a rare and refreshing change to be able to work with a software engineer that can make project direction recommendations and technological recommendations and then carry them out.
Szymon is absolutely quality focused and delivers results.
Senior Developer at Encompass Corporation
December 12, 2011
I worked along-side Szymon for several years and found his dedication, passion, willingness to seek out new ideas and craftsmanship inspiring. He is one of the few software developers that I know that can work directly with clients and be trusted to deliver a product that both meets their needs and is of high quality.
I recommend Szymon without question and would personally jump at an opportunity to work with him again.
Senior Software Engineer at Macquarie Group
November 29, 2011
I have worked with Szymon for several years. He has great technical and social skills and is a very nice person to work with. Szymon has always been enthusiastic, proactive and goal-oriented no matter what kind of environment there is around him. He is always keen to learn and develop. I would totally recommend him as an IT person.
Software Engineer

I worked with Szymon over a number of years while at Agile Digital Engineering. He is an excellent software engineer who always engages very well with customers and has great design, development and planning skills. I highly recommend Szymon as an IT professional.
Java Developer at Department of Immigration and Citizenship
November 13, 2011
I highly recommend Szymon. I had the pleasure of working with Szymon at Agile Digital Engineering for up to 12 months in total.
He successfully led the development for the search engine optimisation of a client’s website. His technical knowledge in Java, servlets, Struts 2, CSS, Postgres and Linux administration (among other technologies) was key in allowing him to perform and oversee this process.
In addition to his technical abilities, I found Szymon to be level-headed despite any issues faced, patient and dedicated to achieving results and delivering on deadlines.
He is easy to get along with and easy to talk to. I can see that he confidently communicates to clients, managers and colleagues.
Finally, Szymon is driven to further develop his knowledge and actively pursues this whether it is in further reading, practice or presenting to technology interest groups. Clearly Szymon would be a great addition to any team.
