Wojciech Bednarski — Howdy! I'm the creator behind HowAIBook. Your comprehensive and practical guide to AI.
My AI journey began during university, studying neural networks. While initially fascinated, I wondered about real-world applications. In 2022, the advent of LLMs like ChatGPT transformed my academic interest into practical expertise.
With over two decades of experience as a programmer, Director of Engineering, and CTO, I've developed large-scale systems and solved intricate technical problems I've focused on creating user-centric, secure, and high-quality custom software throughout my career. My journey in tech started with Unix systems, honing my problem-solving skills and technical acumen. Along the way, I authored a book about JavaScriptMVC, demonstrating my application development expertise and commitment to sharing knowledge.
I focus on creating practical AI solutions by combining deep technical knowledge with creative problem-solving. Now, I'm on a mission to democratize AI knowledge for everyone.
When I'm not immersed in AI, I'm an avid traveler, chess player, and photographer. My global perspective has been shaped by living in diverse tech hubs including Warsaw, London, Copenhagen, New York City and San Francisco. These experiences have not only enriched my life but also my understanding of the global tech landscape, connecting me with people and cultures from all over the world.
I live by Mark Twain's wisdom: Don't let schooling interfere with your education. This philosophy drives my approach to AI—continuous learning beyond traditional boundaries. It's why I created HowAIBook: to inspire and motivate others to engage in practical, real-world AI education that goes beyond theoretical concepts.
