my name is Marek Mikula. I am a web developer based in Czech republic, Prague. Currently, my main stack consists of Laravel, Nuxt (Vue.js), TypeScript and TailwindCSS. But I also tackled some other technologies like Flutter, Java or Node.js (details below).

In my work I am highly focusing on writing clean readable typed and well documented code and implementing design patterns and valid standards. I'm a perfectionist and a workaholic and I have a solid process-centered and user-centered thinking.

What I like about programming is that I get to create something complex and interesting that is able to solve human problems and maximize performance in companies. I love programming and I don't see it as work at all. Maybe that's why I enjoy it so much.

Programming for me is not about writing code. It's about solving problems - human problems. Programming language is just the tool. I don't view good programmer as some who can write perfect code. Good programmer for me represents someone who is mainly a team player, excellent communicator and has overlap to business.

I became interested in web development when I was in 7th grade in elementary school. Those were the times when I was writing ugly ass static pages where I centered everything using the <center> tag and put a huge image of a Counter-Strike logo in the background (a little bit of a nostalgia isn't it?). During the study on a high school I became familiar with dynamic pages built with Laravel and JS + jQuery. I started working immediatelly after high school and this led me to my current path of a fullstack programmer interested in everything around web dev and partly in other areas like DevOps, project management and so on.
