01Intro
I'm a full-stack developer at heart. Ten-plus years inside agencies shipping custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce work, and frontend builds. The last stretch has turned that craft toward internal tools and applied AI.
I came up in client-services agencies, so I'm wired for the way client work actually goes: listening to non-technical stakeholders, translating fuzzy frustrations into a working tool, shipping fast, gathering feedback. The last stretch has turned that same craft toward two new customers. First, internal teams who need workflows automated. Second, AI as a serious tool rather than a buzzword.
Working remotely. Flexible for European and US-Eastern hours. UK and Czech citizen. I travel to Czechia a few times a year to see family, so a Czech-based office or agency would be a natural fit for occasional in-person time.
