Oskar Szewczyk

Oskar Szewczyk is a software engineer at SoftNet, a company delivering solutions for Poland’s cooperative banking sector.

Currently, he focuses on modernizing both the banking system itself and the way software development work is organized.

He enjoys tackling problems across the full spectrum — from the big picture down to highly specialized technical details. What he values most is working in teams where strong engineering craft meets real business context.

Beyond his professional life, Oskar finds challenge and inspiration in the high mountains. His mountaineering résumé already includes several impressive summits.

Ok, I flipped to LeSS and now what?

In January, our organization made a bold move: we made a flip and started LeSS adoption through a self-designing teams workshop. Rather than focusing on the reasons why we chose LeSS, this session will take you straight into the reality of what came after.

What we quickly learned is that LeSS doesn’t solve your problems—it just makes them very visible. And we had plenty. Decisions were often delayed or avoided, our engineering practices weren’t strong enough. On top of that, we were stuck with legacy tools and struggling with low transparency. All of these issues surfaced at once, forcing us to face them head-on.

In this talk, we’ll share concrete stories of how we approached these challenges: what helped us move forward, what turned out to be dead ends, and what we’re still figuring out today. If you’re curious about what really happens after the big flip in a LeSS adoption without sugar coating.

Oskar will speak together with Adam Piekarczyk.
