Background

About Jozef Mera

I am passionate about user interfaces and have been dedicated to working with them since my first part-time job in IT. Initially, my focus was on server-side rendering with ASP.NETWebForms. While I am comfortable diving deep into full-stack development (C#) and database management, my true passion lies in the layers where end users interact directly. I take pride in creating UIs that are fast, responsive, secure, and stable, ensuring a seamless experience for potential customers. In 2015, I transitioned to front-end technologies rendered on the client side, including SPAs, React, npm, and TypeScript, and I quickly fell in love with this area of development. Although I am not a designer, I am well-versed in the basic principles of CSS/SASS. In 2017, I had the opportunity to serve as a UI Technical Architect at FNZ. Despite not being able to fully utilize the potential of this role, I embraced the journey and adopted the personal motto "The Architect in training :)." I am always eager to learn and adapt in the rapidly evolving world of front-end development. My expertise spans from database management through full-stack development to front-end technologies. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with DevOps, including writing pipelines in YAML and working within Docker environments. Recently, I embarked on a new venture as a self-employed professional (OSVC), helping other self-employed individuals realize their dreams through IT solutions. I work on websites and, more recently, mobile applications using expo.dev. I am also an advocate for open source projects. From time to time, I contribute by testing, reporting bugs, and occasionally adding features. One of my hobbies is chess, and I actively support the open source project lichess.org. Furthermore, I am very interested in using AI responsibly. For example, I used the help of Copilot to improve my LinkedIn profile.
