Hi, I’m Michal, a passionate Frontend Developer with a strong background in React, TypeScript, and modern web technologies. My programming journey began in elementary school when my father gave me a book titled"Tvorba WWW stránek pro úplné začátečníky" (Creating Websites for Complete Beginners). It not only introduced me to the basics of web development but also deepened my fascination with computers and the endless possibilities of programming. Combined with my love for video games, this early experience solidified my dream of becoming a programmer.

I built a strong foundation in programming and technology at the Secondary Technical School Purkyňova, where I specialized in Graphics and Web Design during my later years. After graduating, I pursued Informatics at Masaryk University, completing coursework in Python, Haskell, and C programming. During this time, I gained hands-on experience through an internship at IBM, where I contributed to building components for internal dashboards and further solidified my programming fundamentals.

My professional career began with part-time React development while still in university. Eventually, I transitioned to full-time frontend development, collaborating on diverse projects like online map editing tools, Progressive Web Apps, and insurance web forms. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work with various companies, including MapTiler, Direct Pojišťovna, and InQool, where I focused on delivering practical solutions and improving user experiences.

Beyond coding, I’m a dedicated home barista, a former national-level rower who transitioned to amateur bodybuilding and later to powerlifting, and a travel enthusiast. These passions shape my attention to detail, perseverance, and creativity – qualities I bring to both my personal and professional life.
