About

Based in Prague, Czechia. I work as a contractor: with Alma Career on Spirit, Jobs.cz, and Prace.cz; with Netvor on products such as Parti, Fondee, Respekt, and FDb. I like problems where design and engineering meet—clear component contracts, maintainable CSS, and systems that teams actually enjoy using.
