My professional journey

2012 — 2015

WordPress & First Steps with Laravel

Started building websites in WordPress for local clients, learning HTML/CSS and PHP fundamentals. During this period I also discovered Laravel and used it for several smaller personal projects.

2015 — 2021

SEO Specialist

Became a dedicated SEO specialist focused on data analytics, user behaviour and conversion optimisation. Continued using Laravel for personal projects throughout this period.

2021 — 2022

Data Analytics & Back to Code

Returned to full-time programming with a focus on data analytics. Worked professionally with Nette and Laravel. Started taking on smaller clients with internal Laravel projects.

2022 — 2023

Agency Experience & Framework Diversity

Gained hands-on experience at several agencies working with Nette, CakePHP, Symfony and Vue. Continued building own projects and serving smaller clients on Laravel, and briefly returned to SEO consulting.
