Jakub works as the Chief Specialist for Sound Digitization and Restoration at the National Film Archive - Audiovisual Institute (FINA) and as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Sound Engineering at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music (UMFC) in Warsaw. He is a graduate of this faculty, and in 2018 he defended his doctoral dissertation on the restoration of sound in pre-war films based on his experience gained with the Nitrofilm project run by FINA. For this project he co-created a new technology for extracting optical sound from film scans. As an expert he took part in international film restoration projects, in which the digitization and restoration of the optical sound was particularly complicated. He participated as an instructor for sound restoration during archive workshop organized by FIAF.

This synergy of practicing and academic contribution defines his mission to elevate the standards of audio engineering. By joining the ranks of individual FIAF supporters his intention is to contribute to the FIAF community as a sound restoration expert.
