Hey, I'm Michael!

A software engineer based in Prague, Czechia

I build fast, accessible websites and web apps, deploy and run them myself, from the first line of code to the live server.

Services

What I can do for your web project:

I run what I build
I don't hand over a zip file and disappear. I launch your site, monitor it, watch the error logs, ship fixes, and keep everything updated. Handled daily, not once a quarter.
Rapid prototyping
Using AI-assisted tooling, I turn your idea into a clickable web prototype in days, not weeks. You see exactly how it will work before any production code is written.
Unified administration
I build custom sitebuilders so you can manage multiple websites from one place. One login, one dashboard, consistent content everywhere.

Clients
