About me

Senior software engineer and fractional CTO with 15+ years building high-volume platforms in Drupal, PHP, and .NET. London-based, UK and EU engagements.

About Tomasz Turczyński

I am a senior software engineer and IT consultant based in London, with more than fifteen years of experience delivering high-volume, high-availability platforms. I run Turczynski Interactive Ltd., and work hands-on: architecture, code, and the boring DevOps that keeps it running.

My work spans full-stack Drupal development, .NET and C# business applications, and AI-enabled products grounded in retrieval-augmented generation. Outside of engineering I am a photographer, an FPV drone pilot, and a registered motorsport journalist.

What I do

I design, build, and modernise digital products for organisations that need them to perform. Engagements typically combine architecture, hands-on implementation, and technical leadership.

  • Fractional CTO — interim Technical Director cover, architecture reviews, hiring, and delivery leadership.
  • Drupal consultancy — end-to-end builds, audits, and D7→D10 / D9→D11 migrations across Drupal 8 to 11.
  • .NET and C# — ASP.NET Core back-ends, Blazor interfaces, MSSQL data work, PowerShell automation.
  • AI and RAG — production retrieval-augmented systems grounded in a client’s own knowledge base.
  • Drone filming — licensed FPV and cinematic aerial work for motorsport, tourism, and real estate.

Background

My career began in 2006 at Byss.pl in Szczecin, Poland, building PHP, MySQL, and early Drupal sites. In 2011 I moved to London to join Tag Worldwide, where I led the digital publishing platform for a major UK bank and engineered high-profile Facebook campaigns for brands including Phones 4U, Tesco, and Argos.

From there I progressed through senior and architect roles at Catch Digital — Senior Web Developer, Technical Director, and Drupal Architect — leading a distributed team of more than ten developers and delivering for Cancer Research UK, the Francis Crick Institute, BBC Studios, and Chelsea Barracks. I then joined Enovation Solutions in Dublin as Drupal Architect, specialising in Solr search, custom migrations, SSO, and CRM integrations for high-profile clients.

Since July 2024 I have been Senior Developer at MSD Animal Health in the UK, where I maintain enterprise C# applications, MSSQL data platforms, and the reporting systems that sit behind the company’s animal-tag distribution programme. Alongside that role, I run client engagements through Turczynski Interactive Ltd.

Photography, video, and flight

I picked up my first Olympus camera in 2008 and have not put it down since. That camera led me to found NewsPress, a registered motorsport magazine that gave me accreditation at rallies, motor shows, and racing circuits across Europe. My photography focuses on motor sport, landscape, and wildlife; my videography has largely migrated to FPV drones.

I fly competitively, build my own quadcopters, and operate commercially — from 3-inch cinewhoops for tight interior work to cinelifter-class platforms that carry full cinema cameras. A notable client is the regional government of West Pomerania (“Pomorze Zachodnie”) in Poland.

I am also a Google Street View Trusted accredited photographer, producing 360° virtual tours for businesses that want to stand out on Google Maps.
