About
I’m Patrik Potocki, CTO at Fast Track — an iGaming player engagement platform trusted by some of the industry’s biggest operators.
I lead the engineering organization and own the technical direction of our platform: architecture, infrastructure, developer experience, and delivery.
Fast Track — CTO (current)
Led the complete infrastructure redesign: migrated from Rackspace to AWS, rewrote core services from PHP to Go, introduced Kubernetes as the orchestration layer. Previously Tech Lead.
Codespark — Developer
Full-stack development across various client projects.
ezy Webwerkstaden — Tech Lead
Web development and client solutions.
QuickSearch — Developer
Search technology and backend systems.
Earlier career — ~10 years in .NET
Built systems for shoe e-commerce, airline industry, and more. This is where I learned to ship software and care deeply about the craft.
Languages: Go (primary), TypeScript, SQL, Bash
Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm
Practices: distributed systems, event-driven architecture, CI/CD, observability
Leadership: engineering strategy, team building, technical hiring, cross-functional collaboration
AI agents have completely changed how I work. Tools like Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents are now a core part of my daily workflow — they write the code while I focus on reviewing, exploring ideas, and architecting systems.
I believe the engineers who lean into these tools early will have a massive advantage. It’s not about replacing developers; it’s about amplifying what a single engineer can accomplish. The way we build software is shifting fast, and I’m here for it.
