ABOUT ME
Welcome! My name is Tomas, I am a web developer based in Bratislava. I build applications both on my own for end clients and in collaboration with companies and startups on their projects. I am passionate about programming and I keep focusing on the best solution I can come up with. I believe this passion is the key point to keep improving, discovering and bringing the best value I can give.
I consider it important to understand the whole business model behind a product. I usually take part in the preparatory technical analyses, contribute to a better user experience, accept or, where needed, improve the overall architecture and actively take part in solving any problem that come with the product development. This higher-level perspective then helps me turn a business idea into a well-structured, maintainable application.
Since 2014 I have been working with the Ruby on Rails framework and all related web technologies. I find it to be very interesting and powerful for web development and internet services. I prefer a design first methodology and single-purpose components covered by tests. In the AI era I use code generation based on instructions, but preferably in smaller steps so that the output can be reviewed easily. With 10+ years of experience and AI assistance I adapt quickly to other frameworks when needed.
I am mostly interested in mid-size projects but also startups where everything needs to be built from zero to MVP and further. Regarding the hourly/man-day rate, I'm happy to accept the mid-range of the dev team's rates, and we can always adjust later if needed.
SKILLS
Since 2014 I do web development mostly using Ruby on Rails framework. Apart from writing code, I also work on technical analyses before development starts, help shape the product from the user's point of view and get involved in planning the solution and the system architecture. I have fullstack web development capability but I feel stronger in the backend application part. My programming origin dates to about year 2000 and strongly relates to C/C++ languages and the MFC framework, which I used to produce a lot of Windows desktop apps. My typical tech stack:
- Ruby on Rails - since 2014 (v4)
- RSpec testing
- Hotwire, Turbo (frames, streams)
- Stimulus (JS controllers)
- REST API integrations, GraphQL
- Bootstrap, HTML, SCSS, BEM
- SQL / Postgres DB
- Git
- Docker, Dokku, Heroku
Soft skills
- I am friendly and communicative person with a lot of friends
- I can understand and explain problems to others to get it
- I feel responsibility for the task and our product
Before web development (2000-2014):
- C / C++ programming language (6+ years)
- MFC framework
- .NET desktop apps written in C#
EXPERIENCE
Packeta - system analyst
2025 - 2026
-
The mission was to analyze and potentially takeover a group of applications provided by a 3rd party vendor that are composed into the whole Packeta system. As a member of a team of 4 senior developers I analyzed multiple application architecture, used patterns, dependencies, described the code quality and point out the takeover risks. The result of this process was a technical documentation for the system parts and recommendations for the high level business decision.
Since 2014 I have been working as self-employed attending projects often built from the very beginning to the functioning application.

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.
