Hi, my name is Marián.

I’m 26-yo full-stack web developer and technology enthusiast with interests in various multimedia, art, and design. I have experience with both front-end and back-end web development, mobile application development, project design, UI/UX design, and hardware. I’m currently working on a device to make drones smarter and safe to access our airspace.
I also teach 3D Printing at Czech Technical University in Prague.

How to contact me

My full name is Marián Hlaváč and I currently live in 📍 Prague, Czech Republic.

You can drop me a line at  ✉️ m@marianhlavac.cz.
I can be found on social networks — such as LinkedIn, GitHub, Facebook, or Twitter.

What I do

I’m a full-stack developer with an emphasis on the front-end technologies, and I consider web technologies as my main focus. I also develop mobile applications, using multi-platform mobile frameworks. Other than that, I sometimes do UI design, develop games, or fiddle with hardware, but those skills are not much serious.

Development

I try to cover all corners of the field, from setting up the server, writing the code while keeping the code maintainable, to testing with users, focusing on good UI and UX and overall final result presented to users.

In the last months, the majority of the code I wrote was in Python, Dart (using Flutter SDK) and TypeScript (using React). From time to time I write a few lines in in Swift, Kotlin, C++, Rust or other languages.

Development Techniques & Project Management

I value good development practices. I keep clean commit history and try to guide others to do the same. Code reviews are for sure, as well as CI/CD, routine automation, or automated code tests.

I also like open-source and non-proprietary solutions, so for example, it shouldn’t be surprising that this resume is a Markdown file that can be converted easily into PDF, this website, or printed.
Or some would say I’m just a big nerd. Also true.

Hobbies & Other skills

I often spend some time improving myself in different fields. I actually have much more hobbies than the below listed, but I find hobbies such as “playing Tetris” or “cooking”, highly irrelevant to the purpose of this page.

• Design — I like designing user interfaces, print design, 3D modelling etc.
• Game development — Both my bachelor and master thesis were dedicated to exploring the possibilities of XR (Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality).
• Hardware — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, robotics and other embedded systems.
• Photography, Video editing
• Music composition & production

My past experiences

For almost a decade I dedicated myself to gaining experiences in web technologies. I started small, creating websites for my friends and colleagues in the old-school Xara Designer, then continued to learn how to program small web apps in PHP, and now I’m in charge of the technical infrastructure of a young technological start-up. Whew, time flies.

• Co-Founder at Dronetag

  • Nov 2018 – now
  • We started in 2018 when we came up with this idea and won in the Space Application Hackathon competition and decided not to leave the idea right after. In Dronetag, I put myself in the role of technological manager, created the foundations for underlying technologies that power Dronetag’s web platform and continues to work on them, as well as work on the user interface of all client applications.
