About

Szymon Żaczek is a Senior Data Engineer at GetInData, bringing his multi-disciplinary expertise to advance knowledge about biochemical processes. With a background in chemistry, he is a professional software developer and scientific researcher, currently pursuing his PhD. He was also awarded the esteemed "Diamond Grant" for his work in investigating the biochemical synthesis of styrene. Previously, Szymon worked as a Principal Investigator in Diamond Grant at Lodz University of Technology, where he focused on developing an environmentally friendly method to obtain styrene using renewable resources. He employed computational chemistry tools to gain detailed, atomic-scale knowledge about two enzymatic reactions: the decarboxylation of aromatic compounds that lead to the formation of styrene or its derivatives and the forming of prenylated flavine (prFMN), which requires the formation of a bond between flavin and a dimethylallyl moiety in the presence of UbiX enzyme. Szymon has also worked as a graduate student at Lodz University of Technology, specializing in computational chemistry, data analysis, and data science. He has a Master's degree in Medicinal Chemistry and a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry of Building Materials. With over six years of relevant experience, Szymon's technical skills include data engineering, software engineering, research science, and web development. He combines his expertise in chemistry and software development to implement commercial-grade, web-based systems.
