My official name is Jan but on the internet you can usually find me under name Zladovan. I created this nick name years ago based on popular fictional character Zladko "Zlad!" Vladcik.
I am open-minded person. It's not only common cliché. I really do not like “black and white thinking”. I understand that my truth is not valid out of my model of thinking. I feel very good surrounded by the people do not taking themselves too seriously.
I like to spend my time with:
- 💻 programming
- 🌳 hiking
- 🧗♂️ rock climbing
- 📚 reading
- ❤️ making love
I am a generalist who feels the best while swimming in uncharted waters.
During 10+ years as a professional software developer I participated on a development of various types of applications and I tried multiple roles. I have experience with:
- 🧪 testing
- 🖼️ programming web UI's
↔️ designing and implementing REST/gRPC API's- 📊 building data analytics platform
- 🛠️ configuring automated builds
- 📈 deploying and monitoring of what I have built

I must admit that I do not see myself as an expert in any field and I doubt I will become an expert one day. It's because I much more like to explore new stuff than to go too deep into something I already know. I understand the role of expertise and specialization but I really do not like to see me as a specialized component in the big machine doing the same thing over and over again.
I am big fan of open source. I learned a lot from open source projects and I like to share my work too. See below for projects I build in my free time for fun or as a solution to some problem I was facing in private projects. Repositories are organised by me in order by "my proudness". It strongly correlates with the popularity.
