Position: Frontend Developer

A company building data and AI solutions for the energy sector (smart grids, smart metering). As a frontend developer, I work on a web application for monitoring and forecasting photovoltaic power plant production — from implementing UI based on Figma designs, through GraphQL API integration with real-time updates, to automated testing and CI/CD. I work in an agile team, collaborating closely with a designer, backend developers, and data specialists.

Responsibilities

• Developing a SPA in React and TypeScript (Vite, React Router) — from the initial MVP through to production deployment; data visualizations and data tables over photovoltaic power plant data
• Integrating AI tooling into the development workflow — Claude Code with Figma integration (implementing UI from designs) and Playwright MCP (generating and maintaining E2E tests)
• Integrating GraphQL API (Apollo Client, GraphQL Code Generator) including real-time updates via SSE subscriptions
• Implementing UI based on Figma designs (Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, Recharts), including localization (i18next)
• Building Playwright E2E testing from the ground up — migrating legacy Java/Selenium tests and integrating them into the CI pipeline
• Maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Docker, Azure Container Apps) with quality gates, including setting up automated dependency updates (Renovate)

Technologies Used: React 19, TypeScript, Vite, React Router, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI (shadcn/ui), GraphQL (Apollo Client), Microsoft Entra ID (MSAL), Playwright, Vitest, GitLab CI, Docker, Azure Container Apps, SonarQube, Claude Code

Mautilus, S.R.O. 2013–2018 Brno, Czech Republic

Position: Smart TV Developer

A company focused on developing applications for Smart TVs, mobile devices, and HbbTV platforms. I worked on applications for Smart TV platforms (e.g., Samsung, LG), HbbTV, and PlayStation 3/4 using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Apps were built as single-page applications (SPA). I also contributed to the Mautilus Smart TV SDK to simplify cross-platform development.

Smart TV platforms were still maturing at the time — inconsistent across devices, with poor performance and limited tooling. Working with media players, DRM systems, and proprietary APIs required creative solutions and thorough optimization, pushing my skills well beyond typical frontend work.

Technologies Used: JavaScript (ES3+), (X)HTML, CSS 2.1, jQuery, media players, DRM (PlayReady, Widevine), VAST / Google IMA SDK, Google Analytics, Conviva, Samsung Tizen / LG webOS APIs, Wireshark, SVN/Git

Web Developer (Freelance) 2009–2013

Complete development of websites for small businesses – from graphic design and full-stack implementation to hosting setup and deployment. Some projects included dynamic UI components, CMS integration (e.g., WordPress), or a custom booking system. Emphasis was placed on clean and semantic HTML, search engine optimization (SEO), and basic accessibility (a11y) best practices.

Technologies Used: (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, MySQL, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Adobe Photoshop
