Hey! I'm Paweł!

I’m Paweł Dolega, CTO at VirtusLab.

For the past 20 years I’ve turned engineering experience into measurable business results, guiding teams through tough architecture choices and launching a few tech ventures along the way.

On Beyond the Commit I draw on that experience to lead focused, pragmatic conversations with fellow technology leaders. Off the mic, I am a father, climber and thinker. I share my thoughts on X and pdole.ga.

In every podcast episode, you can expect:

  • Engineer-to-engineer chats that spark ideas you can ship.
  • Content grounded in production: no fluff, just value beyond the commit.
