Today

Since 2020 I have been working as a frontend engineer at Mercedes‑Benz Financial Services Czech Republic.

At Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, my primary responsibility revolves around the presentation of data, utilizing the latest in frontend technologies. Making great use of my experience in React, a commitment to type safety through TypeScript, and the power of Next.js for the creation of performant web applications without unnecesary hustle.

My journey

My journey as a developer started in 2015, when I studied at the University of Hradec Králové - Faculty of informatics and management. I was introduced to the world of web development by senior PHP developer at small broker company, who taught me the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript as well as PHP. I was hooked immediately and started to learn more and more about web development. I was so passionate about it, that I moved to Prague to find a job as a web developer. In my next job at FG Forrest, company that is leader in the field of web development in the Czech Republic with clients like ČEZ and IKEM. I was in depth introduced to JavaScript and React. Year and a half later after I learn so much there was a oportunity to join Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, where I am working now.
