Summary

Hey, my name is Thomas, welcome to my safe place, I'm from Slovakia. I work as a design engineer, which is a roundabout way of saying I like spending time on the details most people never notice, the small polish that makes software feel considered instead of just functional. To me it's about caring how something is built and how it feels to use, and treating the bits in between as the real work. Lately that's meant freelance client work and co-building KURA with a friend of mine. Before that, I worked at Innovatrics building frontends for identity and biometric systems. I work mostly in TypeScript, React, Hono/Elysia and Postgres, and I enjoy working with people who are curious, passionate, and open minded. "In the end, I just want what I build to feel like someone cared about it."

Experiences

Full-stack developer

Freelance

Sep 2025 - Current

During this time I built e-commerce stores, brand sites, and some automations. "I wanted the freedom to shape my own days. I got it, but working alone was lonelier than I expected."

Frontend developer

Sep 2022 - Aug 2025

A leap into the unknown. My first real job. I met nice people and felt part of the team from the get-go.

Projects

  • KURA

    2025

    Born from the problem we were facing at the time.

  • Digitalne menu

    2021 - 2022

    My first passion and love. This idea even probably started my career. Unfortunately, we were too scared to take the final steps, and the project died... "Just ship it."
