As a senior web app developer, I am a prototypical freelance business owner. While I own and manage the top-notch web development agency Creatiweb in Prague, I am also deeply involved in most of its projects both as a team lead and as a senior developer. Our outstanding results are rooted in our hands-on working culture and high client satisfaction, enabled by agile project management.
With the support of my colleagues, I have been designing and developing user-friendly, fast and secure web applications for servers and websites — since 1999. We can cover everything, from an analysis of your requirements, designing solutions and selecting suitable technologies, to the final implementation, including the provision of all infrastructure, domains, email solutions, monitoring, etc.
- Business analyses — analysis and consulting on your requirements to find the best solutions and technologies for your online projects from a technical, business or financial perspective, or simply to meet the given requirements
- Web applications — online shops and other e-commerce projects, content management systems, API, CRM, and other tailored or customized apps
- Infrastructure and operations — full-service operation of your web applications: staging, testing, CI/CD, process automation, agile development, etc.
- Management of online projects — domain name registrations, administration, as well as the optional registration of trademarks and business names; help with the management of email services and your other tools
I am always open to lead my team into demanding international projects. Czech IT professionals are among the best in the world. By founding my agency in Prague and working on dozens of demanding IT projects over the last 20 years, I have been able to tap into the industry to assemble a team of excellent IT developers and experts who are also great team players. Send me an intro of your business or project and I would be happy to look into it and see whether or not we are the right fit.

- Jime zdrave a Jeme zdravo — Complete development, analyses and project management. In 2018, we took over a troubled older website and wrote a completely new application to replace it. We have implemented APIs for mobile applications, an online store, push notifications and messages, as well as many connections to external services, from payment gateways to big queries, invoicing, banks, warehouses and shipping. We have strengthened the team and we are extensively developing the project; all with an emphasis on speed and safety.
- Imper — Agile project management and development. At Imper, I have tried and managed to import and promote popular methods for organizing development, using Trello and Slack, some development sprints, etc. When this innovation was set up, I started programming on the Merk, Leady and most recently Firmograph projects. Data was always the primary focus. Big data. Crawling, processing…
- Petlan — A complete portfolio of services. Since 2008, we have been creating tailor-made online shopping sites for our clients, designing specific solutions with language, currency, VAT and other mutations, and we have been taking care of domains, email systems and operational infrastructure. We are now preparing a new online store connected to the Vario system, designed mainly for B2B, with an API for partners and large customers. Anyone who knows Vario or their AVIS “API” even superficially, will understand that this is not an easy task.
- Percolate — Advanced apps for the US enterprise content marketing platform. We worked in a distributed team: one client in the Czech Republic, another in the USA. Design and implementation of more advanced applications in Python/Django. All done in 2016-2017.
Technologies
I always choose suitable technology for a project. I like to use technologies that have proven their quality over the years but at the same time I am curious to learn about new technologies, and as an agency we do not hesitate to use innovative solutions and procedures where appropriate. Our work is based mostly on open-source technologies and programming languages:
- Planning and prototyping — XMind (mind maps), Notes, Moleskine Flow, Figma, Zeplin
- IT project management — Trello, Clockify, GIT, Gitlab, Github, BitBucket, Slack, Hangouts Meet
- Back end, server, API — Python, Django, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, document DB, Time Series Database, Redis, Memcache, Nginx web server, ElasticSearch
- Front end, client, UI — HTML5, CSS3, SASS, VUE, JavaScript, Bootstrap
- DevOps and automation — Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, Debian Linux, Docker

Firsthand recommendations
Vítek is one of the few engineers I know that are able to come up with very creative ideas and actually get the job done. He is dedicated and highly independent but also able to work efficiently in a team. Always thinking out of the box and finding seemingly impossible solutions.
Vítek is an exceptionally skilled software developer. Delivered work is of high quality and in time. Review needed turned out to be next to nothing. It's a pleasure to talk projects as well as other stuff. He is open to others. As well as other recommenders, I also notice Vítek works in a way so he can be later proud of the results. That's a good drive.
