The Tiny Tiger
aka Kamil Michalak
Why "The Tiny Tiger"?
It started as a joke, really. I'm not exactly tiny—but compared to a real tiger? We're all tiny. The name stuck because it captures the vibe: small but fierce, playful but powerful.
I've been building things on the web for over a decade now. Before that, I spent years in a professional kitchen, learning that the best creations come from obsessive attention to detail and the willingness to start over when something's not quite right.
That chef mentality followed me into code. I treat it the same way I treated cooking: with care and attention to detail.
From Kitchen to Code
The Chef Years
6+ years at Fredes Flyvende Tallerken in Aarhus. High-pressure environment, creative problem-solving, and the discipline to deliver consistent quality every single service. Learned to work clean under pressure.
The Developer Years
11+ years building production platforms. The kitchen taught me to handle pressure. Code let me build things that last longer than a dinner service.
"Good food and good code both need attention to detail."

Beyond the Code
This website isn't just a portfolio—it's a family project too. The Family Gallery holds memories from vacations, birthdays, and random Tuesday adventures.
Technology should bring people together, not just serve business goals. That's why I build things that matter to the people I love.
And yes, there's a Norwegian boyfriend who keeps me grounded and occasionally reminds me that there's a world outside the terminal.
