As a Java developer, I delivered features for a backend service used across the company and implemented change requests.
This was my first experience shipping to production and collaborating with a development team.
Hello, I'm Petr
With 12+ years in software engineering, I have led frontend development and laid down foundations for several greenfield projects.
Background
My journey began as a backend developer, transitioned into full-stack development, then focused on frontend excellence with an Angular specialization, and ultimately evolved into architecture, technical ownership and client communication.
Backend
Frontend
I shifted into frontend during the early Angular 2 days, implementing user-facing features and handling the more complex UI work.
As the framework evolved, I guided upgrades and began coaching junior developers while supervising QA testers, introducing test automation. I was splitting tasks, coordinating with backend, and setting standards.
This phase taught me that delivery scales when the team does.
Full Stack
I grew into delivering features end to end, from clarifying requirements with stakeholders to designing data models, implementing frontend functionality, extending backend APIs, and managing database changes.
This phase connected everything I'd learned before and widened my view beyond individual tickets.
It sharpened my technical judgement, seeing how choices in each layer affect the product end to end.
Architecture
I began taking ownership not just of code, but of direction. I shaped application structure, designed shared libraries and state management, reviewed code, mentored developers, and jumped on calls to unblock issues quickly. I stayed hands-on in production code, working mostly on complex features and refactoring.
In sprint reviews, I led the technical portion, presenting delivery to stakeholders and answering their questions. I also contributed to planning and estimates and clarified scope with product owners when decisions had technical implications.
This phase marked my transition from implementing architecture to designing it.
After years of building systems and shaping architecture, I wanted to focus on helping teams start strong and make the right technical choices.
I value flexibility, clear communication, and a willingness to help each other out to reach a common goal.
