Andrzej Jarzyna
Andrzej Jarzyna has spent over 14 years navigating the API landscape, from the early days at 3scale helping clients shape their API strategies to his current role as Chief API Architect at PZU, where he’s building an API governance program from the ground up. Along the way, he’s tackled everything from designing health research platforms in Mozambique to leading API excellence initiatives at Adidas and spearheading policy-as-code approaches at ING Bank. When he’s not deep in OpenAPI specifications or mentoring teams on API design, you’ll find him organizing API events, because apparently talking about APIs all day isn’t enough. He’s also co-founded gaming startup Timewarp Inc and somehow finds time to escape the digital world through climbing and mountaineering adventures.
Samir Amzani is a Principal API Consultant and strategic advisor who specializes in transforming how organizations design, scale, and govern their API ecosystems. Currently serving on the leadership team at Apideck, he drives the evolution of unified API platforms that seamlessly connect thousands of applications. As a Technical Steering Committee member at AsyncAPI, Samir helps shape the future of open standards for event-driven architectures.Over 18 years, he has partnered with industry leaders across diverse sectors, from tech giants like Postman to consumer brands such as Adidas and Back Market, guiding their API transformation journeys from fragmented systems to cohesive, developer-first platforms. His expertise spans the full spectrum of API lifecycle management, from initial strategy through implementation and governance at scale. When Samir steps away from architecting the digital backbone of modern businesses, he finds inspiration in philosophy and travel, pursuits that fuel his ability to see complex technical challenges from fresh perspectives and understand the human stories behind the systems he builds.
