Software developer from Czechia

Hi, I'm Tomáš Juřička.

The way I see it, the software development is not just a technology task, nor is it just about people. It is a complex task that needs the correct mixture of all the things involved.

I enjoy agile mindset , goals can change anytime, not only on business level, but also on personal. A constant evolution is unavoidable and embracing it feels very liberating.

Considering whats said above, I'm naturally inclined to view software development as a whole , I have experience with both backend and frontend technologies, little bit of design eye as well. With the ability to not only develop but also deploy and deliver them to customer. Customers should be our main focus, and delivering value to him is my primary goal.

Even though I believe software development is not just about code, I really love playing with it. Lately I've found myself in love with functional programming and designing application domains.

Not only I enjoy doing software development, I also love sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I was able to mentor several people in my professional career and I currently teach an agile development course at Tomáš Bata University in Zlín

On more personal note, I'm an avid sport enjoyer . Spent a few years doing martial arts, but now I' more focused on endurance sports. When I can find the time, I can get immersed in reading pretty easily.

Freelancing

Outside of regular work, I also spend some time working on side projects. These consist mostly of websites for smaller subjects in my local area. Sometimes I also do designs for them. I've initially started with an ASP.NET MVC application, and worked my way up to a stable JAMSTACK architecture which is first go-to when building a new website.

Currently i build the websites using a .NET backend and a Astro frontend, with React components. Previously I've worked with GatsbyJS as frontend.

I've always tried to bring the expertise from my primary work to the side projects as well, meaning that I always try to use newest technologies. Bringing fast & accessible websites to my customers. I've also included a CI&CD for my convinience.

Skills: Astro • TailwindCSS • .NET/C# • ASP.NET • Azure functions • Github repos & workflows • GatsbyJS • NetlifyCMS • Figma
