Hello, I'm
A Full-Stack Developer
I focus on creating web applications that combine clean user experience with solid backend functionality.
I work with Next.js, Node.js, APIs, authentication, and databases to build projects that are practical, scalable, and built around real use cases.

My Story
I am a full-stack developer with a strong interest in backend logic, APIs, and performance. Over the last two years, I have focused on teaching myself through real project work and building applications that improved both my technical skills and discipline.
My background includes a technical secondary school education in Slovakia focused on cybersecurity, IT, and programming, where I completed my maturita at SPSE Nove Zamky Jedlika. That gave me a solid base, while most of my growth came from self-directed learning and consistent practice.
I enjoy building systems that are reliable, efficient, and well structured behind the scenes. I also care about clean user experience, because strong applications need both solid logic and clear presentation.
I want my work to reflect something simple: that I am a hard worker who keeps building, keeps learning, and takes progress seriously.
Featured Projects
Projects that reflect my approach to frontend development, backend logic, and building practical full-stack applications.
A high-performance full-stack recipe discovery platform built for fast browsing, advanced search, secure favorites, and detailed recipe pages powered by the Spoonacular API.
Built server-rendered recipe pages and fast discovery flows for a large recipe dataset.
Implemented advanced filtering, favorites persistence, and Clerk authentication in one full-stack product flow.
A monorepo library management project with a React frontend and an Express plus Prisma backend, focused on authentication, CRUD flows, search, pagination, and API structure.
Designed protected CRUD routes with JWT authentication and a PostgreSQL database through Prisma.
Added pagination, search, and a daily delete-limit system to handle user actions with more realistic backend rules.
