Full-stack & AI engineer · Brno, CZ

I build robust software, and AI tooling is why it ships in days.

Typed, tested, reviewed code — built through an AI-assisted workflow that turns the iteration cycle software usually measures in weeks into hours or days.

What each one actually is

All projects →
  • Work Planner

    A collaborative kanban board, JIRA-board style: multiple boards per user, keyboard-operable drag and drop, due dates, and OAuth-only sign-in.

    Postgres Drizzle + Neon · 291 tests across the stack

  • Trader

    A trading terminal with imaginary money: prices stream in twice a second, and an assistant that can read your portfolio and place the trades for you.

    2/sec price ticks streamed · 846 tests across the stack · Lévy closed-form price clock

  • Personal Knowledge Base

    A knowledge base you can ask questions of. Every answer points back at the document it came from, and if your own notes do not answer the question, the app says so instead of guessing.

    170 tests, no test framework · 3 retrieval arms, fused by rank · 4 answering providers behind one seam

  • My Movies

    A personal streaming catalogue pulling from TMDB, presented as a Netflix-style browsing UI with linkable search and a watchlist behind sign-in.

    9 browse rows · Tag-based cache revalidation · Linkable search lives in the URL

  • Games DB

    A personal PC games catalogue that indexes Steam's entire storefront into Postgres, so browsing, filtering, and search never touch Steam's own rate-limited API.

    245,025 appids indexed · 14,621 hydrated with detail · pg_trgm trigram search

  • Legal Document Creator

    Draft a legal agreement by chatting. Pick one of 11 Common Paper templates, answer in plain language, and watch the document fill in live.

    11 Common Paper templates · 161 tests across the stack

Skills, with receipts

Every skill →

Databases and data

Postgres

schema, indexing, migrations

Drizzle ORM

typed schema, generated migrations

Full-text search

pg_trgm trigrams, and generated tsvector columns indexed twice — simple for identifiers, english for prose

Background work

a monthly cron job, advisory-locked queues, backfill with retry and backoff, durable partial progress

AI and retrieval

Retrieval-augmented generation

three arms — vector, identifier and BM25 prose — combined by reciprocal rank fusion; nothing retrieved refuses the question instead of guessing at it

Vector search

pgvector with an HNSW cosine index over 384-dimension embeddings computed in-process, so indexed text never leaves the container

LLM integration

four answering providers behind one interface, with per-user and deployment-wide spend ceilings checked before a call can cost anything

Prompt injection defence

retrieved text travels inside tags the application writes, tag-shaped spans are escaped rather than stripped, and citations are validated before the first word of prose streams

PII anonymisation

names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers become placeholders before anything crosses a network boundary; the mapping back lives in the request and dies with it

Backend and integrations

FastAPI

typed routes, service layer

Third-party APIs

Steam, TMDB, OpenRouter, with tag-based cache revalidation and an on-demand purge endpoint

Auth

OAuth sign-in and sessions, and OIDC against a Keycloak realm with role claims read from the token

Frontend

React and Next.js

App Router, server components by default

Streaming UI

server-sent events for live price ticks, NDJSON for token-by-token answers

Accessible interaction

drag and drop that is keyboard-operable, with the ARIA roles the pattern actually calls for

Design systems

Tailwind v4, semantic tokens, no dark: variants

Delivery

Testing

unit, integration and Playwright end-to-end — and 170 tests on the Node runner alone, with no test framework installed

Docker

multi-stage builds, one origin, no CORS layer; a compose file that brings up the app, its database and an identity provider together

CI/CD

typecheck, lint and both suites on every pull request

Track record
