Booked on current projects
Senior full-stack developer from Czechia. PHP 8, Laravel, Nette, Vue 2/3, Nuxt 2/3 and Tailwind CSS — a Figma file and an empty repository at one end, a fast, maintained site at the other.
Selected work
Every screenshot below links to the running site. On most of them I was the person turning the design into frontend code — and on several, the one keeping the backend behind it alive.
Online Factory
Frontend implementation from Figma
Community portal for aquarists — listings, magazine and inspiration. I built the complete pixel-perfect frontend in Nuxt 3 and Vue 3 against a REST API, and help maintain the Nette and MySQL backend behind it.

Frontend maintenance & new features
Property portal for a Prague luxury real-estate agency, affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate. Built on a Laravel TALL stack, where I maintain the frontend and ship new features.
bicepsdigital
Frontend maintenance & new features
Booking site for handpicked premium apartments in Prague, with search, availability and multi-currency pricing. I maintain and extend the Nuxt 2 / Vue 2 frontend.
Online Factory
Platform takeover · frontend & backend
Carpet and flooring e-commerce platform. I led the handover from the previous external supplier, then kept both ends running: Nuxt 2 frontend, Laravel backend, full-text search on Laravel Scout and Elasticsearch, XML feed import/export, Erste Bank payments, a loyalty club with automatic discounts and Sentry error tracking.
Pilulka.cz
Back-office maintenance & new features
One of the largest Czech online pharmacies. I developed and maintained the internal BackOffice that runs the shop: supplier XML product feeds, order and customer management, and API links to delivery companies, the warehouse system and internal microservices. The storefront shown here is the public face of what it drives.
Online Factory
Figma → Tailwind frontend
Site for a promoter of international classical music festivals in Prague. The Figma design became a responsive Tailwind CSS frontend, with per-festival theming across the page.
Online Factory
Figma → Tailwind frontend
Czech consumer site for a medical implant brand — long-form editorial pages, a clinic finder and a soft gradient art direction that had to survive every breakpoint intact.
Online Factory
Figma → Tailwind frontend
Corporate site for a precast concrete manufacturer — services, reference projects and careers. Built from Figma into Tailwind CSS; the company now trades as Goldbeck, so the live site carries their branding on the frontend I implemented.
TruckersReport.com
Admin development · Laravel + Vue 2
Applicant tracking system for truck-driver recruiting in the US. I worked on the administration side in Laravel and Vue 2, plus the Driver App survey, XML feed processing, web scraping and the internal jobs back office. The admin itself sits behind a login.
Not everything has a public address. The internal Jobs Backoffice at TruckersReport, the Bifler.cz e-learning platform and a decade of WordPress sites and custom plugins sit behind logins or have since been rebuilt — happy to walk through them on a call.
Stack
Deep in the first two columns, fluent in the rest. New frameworks are not a problem — most of this list was learned on the job, and the next one will be too.
Experience
Java and groupware first, then a decade of PHP, and now mostly Laravel and Vue. Long engagements rather than short ones — most clients below stayed for years.
2025 — present
bicepsdigital
Development and maintenance of several projects on the TALL stack — Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire and Filament — alongside Nuxt 2/3 and Vue 2/3 frontends.
2023 — present
Online Factory
Complete frontend of the ForAquarist portal in Nuxt 3, plus partial backend maintenance in Nette. Led the transfer of the Koberce K+K e-commerce platform from an external provider and then ran it: Elasticsearch search, XML feeds, Erste Bank payments, a loyalty club and Sentry monitoring.
2023
Self-employed
A blog content generator built on the OpenAI API that published straight into WordPress, a Vue.js chat widget on the same API, and ad campaigns run with their help.
2021 — 2023
TruckersReport.com
Bluegrass ATS, a web application for the truck-driver recruiting process, in a microservice setup with an internal Redis message broker and custom PHP packages. Also the Driver App survey, the internal Jobs Backoffice, XML feed processing, web scraping and budget forecasting.
2020 — 2021
Pilulka.cz, Prague
Internal BackOffice for running the pharmacy e-shop: supplier XML product feeds, order and customer management, API links to delivery companies, the warehouse system and internal microservices. Dockerised Nette development in a team of five, two-week sprints.
2014 — 2020
Success Empire Ltd., Prague
Product websites on WordPress, custom plugins, e-shop modifications and API integrations. From 2017, frontend and backend of Bifler.cz — an e-learning application for language teaching with speech recognition, running on AWS and Google Cloud.
About
I live in Šumice in the Zlín region and work remotely for agencies and product teams in Czechia and abroad. Most weeks that means a Figma file or an inherited repository on one side, and a site that renders correctly on every screen on the other.
I'm equally at home in a Laravel controller, a Nette model and a Nuxt page, which is the useful part: one person can carry a feature from the database schema to the last pixel without a handover in the middle. A good share of my work has been taking over code somebody else wrote — reading it, stabilising it, and only then adding to it.
I lean on AI systems for the repetitive end of the job — boilerplate, scaffolding, migrations, the fifth variation of the same form. What that buys is time, and the time goes into the part no tool does for you: understanding the business behind the brief. That is usually where the value sits. A specification describes one solution; a proper look at the problem underneath it often produces a better one.
I work in sprints when a team has them and independently when it doesn't, and I write code expecting that the next person to open the file won't be me.
