Hi, I'm Marta.

Studied Business Management in Wroclaw, Poland. Always wanted to study abroad somewhere that actually felt far, and it had to be English speaking. The UK felt too close to home. The US wasn't on my shortlist back then either, funny how that changed. Australia was the most interesting, most challenging option, and family already there (grandma included) made the jump less scary. Chose Monash in Melbourne for the business school. The program covered Asia Pacific business context, emerging economies, sustainability, innovation and startup methodology (personas, journey maps, prototyping), plus the standard economics, statistics, law and finance. Lived alone, worked part time, loved every bit of it. Came back to Poland when COVID hit and started the job hunt.

During and right after my bachelor's, two internships far from home. Three months teaching English at a summer school in Algiers through AIESEC, my first real internship, and two years with AIESEC alongside it. I expected kids, got highschoolers and university students my own age, reworked the whole syllabus on the fly, and we became friends anyway. Then almost a year in India, a couple of job changes there (the local companies were a mixed bag), mostly sales and marketing. None of it was project management. What it gave me: real life in a developing country, a lot of travel, local friends I lived with, and a much sharper sense of how differently business and rules actually work depending on where you are. It's also where my interest in social justice started.

First job after the internships: Compliance Surveillance Analyst at Credit Suisse, based in Wroclaw, my home city, fully remote. Worked the communications side. Reviewed flagged employee communications, decided if something crossed a line, and wrote it up: educational material for minor issues, formal escalation for anything serious. It's where I picked up a real education in fintech and how highly regulated industries actually operate, knowledge that carried straight into FIS. Good team, genuinely one of the best I've worked with, still friends with people from it. But the work itself was repetitive, and about six months in I knew process work wasn't for me. Started a Project Management graduate certificate at Kozminski University. Got the offer at FIS halfway through the course.

Fifteen-plus concurrent technology and regulatory initiatives at FIS. Platform migrations, reporting modernization, system upgrades, all for Tier-1 capital markets clients across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. No direct authority over any of the teams involved, so it ran on shared dependency tracking, standing cross-team triage, and clear escalation paths. My first PM job. Intense.

Program manager and primary client liaison for a Tier-1 global investment bank (I keep the name confidential). Change planning, executive alignment, roadmap execution, go-live delivery. Coordinating engineering, operations, compliance, legal, and client teams in a regulated environment where mistakes carry real financial and regulatory consequences.

Between interviews I build delivery tooling in public: an AI-powered stock research workstation (stock-analyst), a Monte Carlo delivery-forecasting tool for Jira exports (flowcast), an 11-module interactive course teaching Claude Code to non-technical learners (claude-code-academy), and a travel-planning PWA built for my parents (wakacje-planer). And this site, with an assistant that says "I don't know" instead of making things up.

AI-powered stock research workstation. Runs parallel web research and streams it through an LLM into structured, sourced analysis. Imports broker CSVs and computes P&L two ways, FIFO and weighted average. React, Express, SQLite. github.com/RivenBlu/stock-analyst

Flow metrics and Monte Carlo delivery forecasting from Jira CSV exports, entirely in the browser. TypeScript. github.com/RivenBlu/flowcast

Offline-first vacation planner, in Polish. 31 destination guides, budget calculator, packing lists, notes. Built for my parents. Single HTML file, no framework. Live at wakacje-planer.pages.dev, code at github.com/RivenBlu/wakacje-planer

An 11-module interactive course teaching Claude Code to complete beginners, framed around a project manager's brain: briefs, delegation, RAID logs, discovery phases. Animated terminal demos, a live sandbox, spaced repetition quizzes. Live at claude-code-academy.pages.dev, code at github.com/RivenBlu/claude-code-academy
