About me

Late in 2019 I’ve joined Ivy Assistant, a healthcare startup helping IVF patients stick to the scheduled treatment.

I have taken part in the design and implementation of key parts of the product, including an event-sourced PHP backend, an administrative GUI for the clinics, multiplatform mobile applications, and a robust end-to-end encryption solution in-between.

In January 2022, I shook hands with Superkoders, a Brno-based digital agency, to help them shape the future of their in-house content management solution.

I was part of many major architectural decisions. I helped bring the codebase up to date with the assistance of static analysis, configured an automated continuous delivery pipeline, and prepared a Docker setup for local development.

In mid-2018 I started working with Smartlook, a Czech startup providing website and mobile app analytics based on visitor recordings.

With PHP being only a small part of the whole cloud-based solution, I also got in touch with React and Node applications written in TypeScript, and I’ve got to know Docker better.

Since 2016 I had been helping Grifart, a Brno-based company organizing medicinal congresses, rebuild their attendee registration system so that all the processes that can be automated are automated.

I also worked on several React front-ends, and have helped set up infrastructure components including an Nginx-based reverse proxy server, or a logging server built with the Elastic stack.

In the middle of 2016, I passed my state exams and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Social Informatics, a programme bridging the gap between IT and social sciences.

I used my thesis as an opportunity to learn React, implementing a single-page chatting app. I integrated Google’s Web Speech API into it so that users could navigate the app, dictate messages and have them read, all without using the keyboard.

Starting mid-2015, I spent a year at Rohlík.cz, a Czech electronic grocery store, at the time dispatching over 1500 orders each day in Czechia’s two largest cities, Prague and Brno.

I worked mostly on day-to-day operations and bugfixes. In addition to the daily routine, I helped migrate the checkout process to ČSOB’s then brand new card payment solution.

I started my professional career at PeckaDesign in Brno. I spent the vast majority of my three years there working on Megapixel.cz, a leading Czech e-commerce site for photographers.

I helped rethink and refactor the community gallery code, and implemented an online photolab service, handling large amounts of uploaded files via modern JavaScript (XHR2) and Nginx’s file upload module.
