Striving to make the Web a better place

Intro

Hi there, I’m days old guy living in Prague, Czech Republic. I have been designing and developing websites since .

I like to explain my work as solving problems using internet-technologies as instruments. My job titles were:

  • Javascript Developer
  • Front-end Developer
  • Head of Front-End Department

But I’m much more than any of these names.

Technologies

I’m an open technologies evangelist and web standards missionary.

Almost all projects listed below are websites or webapps, and thus are built with HTML5, CSS3 & Javascript.

HTML5 Powered with Connectivity / Realtime, CSS3 / Styling, Graphics, 3D & Effects, Multimedia, Semantics, and Offline & Storage

My Projects

  • Winding Tree

    Winding Tree is a hotel management system that aims to bring really quick, simple and cheap product on the market.

    This is a bootstrapped startup and we’re going to launch first version very soon. In this project we using “write once, run anywhere” approach, so you can easily use it on iPhone or Android.

    I started this project with a friend of mine, talented python programmer Jakub Vysoky.

    Here’s a list of technologies we actively use in this project.

  • Kalabuka

    Kalabuka is a digital agency that creates meaningful online experiences. At Kalabuka we try to help businesses achieve their goals on the Internet by embracing new technologies and power of social media.

    Our team consists of Content Ctrategist Xenia Apples, Web Designer Daler Fatyhoff and copywriter Jonathan Lemelman.

  • Vera

    I’m a typography geek, so when I couldn’t find Leo Tolstoy’s “What I Believe” text in good quality, I decided to make proper ePub version by myself.

    Work is still in progress, I’m considering adding few illustration and find missing information, but even now you can enjoy reading it.

    I have made both russian and english versions (translated by Constantine Popoff). I have more open-source projects, so if you want to participate, fork me on GitHub.

  • Stakes

    It is an open-source streamer-converter for LESS, SASS and CoffeeScript files for development purposes. It is based on cloudhead’s node-static.

    We use it in Winding Tree and just recently I’ve decided to release it. Use on your own risk.

Other Projects

  • COTW

    COTW stands for Coalition of the Willing. It is “an animated film about an online war against global warming in a post-copenhagen world.”

    I contributed by translating it to russian. You should keep an eye on the project described in the movie.

    I agree with the most part of Tim Rayner’s philosophy. I strongly believe that open-source approach would solve a great deal of today’s world problems. You should also read “Open Government” by Daniel LathropLaurel Ruma, if you want to catch up.

  • Geekspedition

    Geekspedition is a project of geeky expedition around African continent.

    The goal of that project is to show Africa from the inside. Not edited-and-cut movie, but real-time adventures without any censorship. For the most part of Western world Africa still remains unexplored. I mean, what do you know about Sahrawi and their problems? Can you tell without looking at the map, where Gabon is? What do you know about 25 elections that were held in Africa in 2011? What do you know about life of students in Tanzania? We don’t read african blogs and only see disastrous headlines about poverty and problems, because it sells.

    But I believe that there are many happy people in Africa too.

    The method is to make bootstrapped expedition, without film crew (because of Flip) or editors sitting in BBC’s offices (because of bloggers); donation scheme, which would allow us to get rid of big sponsors and eliminate annoying ads. Crowdsourced as much as possible: editing, cutting, promoting.

    There are many expeditions going to Africa every year, but there’s no such thing as user-friendly expedition website, where you could find decent information about the travel, equipment, and other importants stuff. Even the famous Long Way Down, starring Ewan McGregor, just recently was updated from obsolete Flash version to the new and shiny XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
