ABOUT ME
Welcome! My name is Tomas, I am a web developer living mostly in Bratislava, Slovakia. I am passionate about programming and I like the focus on the best solution I can come up with. I believe the passion is the key point to keep improving, discovering and bringing the best value I can give.
Since 2014 I have been fully focusing on and working with Ruby on Rails open source framework together with Rails related technologies. I find it to be very interesting and powerful for web development and internet services. I strongly prefer to apply design first methodology and single competence unit tested classes pattern together with test driven development for which I use RSpec.
I am mostly interested in middle/small projects like startups where everything needs to be built from zero to MVP and further. My weekly capacity for the project is usually 28-32 hours.
SKILLS
My programming origin dates to about year 2000 and strongly relates to C/C++ languages and MFC framework. I used those to produce a lots of Windows desktop apps. Later in 2014 I switched to web development. Since then the stack I work with has always included RUBY ON RAILS since version 4. I have fullstack web development capability but I feel stronger in the backend application part. My typical tech stack:
- Ruby on Rails - since 2014 (v4)
- RSpec testing
- Hotwire, Turbo (frames, streams)
- Stimulus (JS controllers)
- REST API integrations, GraphQL
- HTML, SCSS, BEM
- SQL / Postgres DB
- Git
- Heroku
Before web development:
- C / C++ programming language (6 years overall)
- MFC framework
- .NET desktop apps written in C#

AWARDS
Accenture innovation competition winner
2010
- Winner of internal Accenture competition of innovations. I created a desktop C#/.NET application watching tickets assigned to a workgroup with notifications and statistics. This solution ensured the high priority tickets to be no more overlooked.
University competition winner
2004
- At the end of my studies I came up with my own idea for my thesis. I developed two C++/MFC based applications (Amod and Simod) that have replaced a command line based program used for transportation computing and simulation at the university. These apps added a lot of new options, loading and saving to files and a visual presentation as a Windows desktop application. I won a university competition with these apps and later they started to be used by the University of Žilina for educational purposes officially.
