About

Thirteen years of front-end work, most of it on products that real people depend on: a bank's internal trading tools, a game studio's storefront, systems that automate law firms.

I'm most useful where architecture decisions and hands-on delivery meet — setting standards, then writing the code that proves they work.

Let's talk

Open to front-end and lead roles in Prague or remote. The fastest way to reach me is email.
