Hi, I am Marek, a software developer currently working at the STRV. In my previous job, I worked as a software architect and senior full stack developer at the State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic. I worked on a large scale BPM system for the administration of funding applications. I have a strong knowledge of designing and development of large scale enterprise applications. In 2019 I fulfilled one of my biggest dreams. I graduated from Czech Technical University in Prague, which is ranked as a top technical university in the Czech Republic. I focus my career on the amazing technologies such as JavaScript, React and Node.js. I love to create useful stuff, so I started a lot of my side projects.

I created the application for the collaborative preparation of the events. Back on those days, there was a dawn of the JavaScript frameworks.

HappyPath

I researched the ways of how people spend their time. As a result of this research, I created the time scheduling app, which helps people spend their time more balanced. This project was a huge success. I won the 1st prize at the JuniorInternet competition and then I was invited to talk about this project at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava.

AndrejNews

2012

I put together a team of five people and I created a news center at my secondary school. To provide some convenient way of sharing this news, I decided to develop the news publishing platform. This project was very successful and it brought me special prize at the JuniorInternet competition.
