About

My name is Jakub Petrykowski.

I was born in Wrocław, Poland. I got my masters degree in Computer Science from University of Wrocław. I used to work as web designer & usability consultant, part-time teacher / instructor and started a tiny poker software company; recently I worked in Zurich as product manager at Google and in Wroclaw as software engineer at Divante.

I'm living in Wroclaw these days.

This blog is part of my exploration of a few fascinating fields in which people want to understand the fabric of reality and human behavior, and then use it to live smarter and improve people's lives. You are likely to find here posts about:

• emotions, communication, relationships;
• cognitive science, heuristics & biases, behavioral economics;
• information technology, design, business;
• customer experience, user experience.

It is still early stage of the site. I want it to follow my "discoveries".

Here is my LinkedIn profile and some of the books I'm reading.
