About

I'm a structural engineer based in Warsaw with 20 years of experience in civil, structural and offshore wind engineering. My background spans steel, reinforced concrete and timber structures designed to Eurocodes, and — since 2023 — offshore wind primary and secondary structures: WTG and OSP foundations, monopiles, transition pieces and platform structures.

Alongside full-time work as Senior Structural Engineer at Wood Thilsted, I run Konopka & Associates Engineering, my own practice since 2008, delivering complete structural design packages — analysis, drawings, coordination and documentation review — for clients across Poland and internationally.

I'm a member of the Mazovian Regional Chamber of Polish Civil Engineers and hold professional competence rights for designing, supervising and managing construction works.
