Senior Full-Stack Developer | 10+ Years in PHP, Symfony, React & DevOps | Delivering Scalable Web Solutions
I'm Jakub Pilař, a Senior Full-Stack Developer with over 10 years of professional experience building robust, scalable web applications. Based in Czech Republic, I work with clients worldwide to deliver high-quality digital solutions.
My expertise spans the entire development stack. On the backend, I specialize in PHP (Symfony, Laravel), Node.js, and Python, designing clean RESTful APIs and complex business logic. On the frontend, I build modern, responsive interfaces using React, Vue.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I'm also experienced in DevOps practices including Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
Throughout my career, I've progressed from PHP developer roles at companies like ShopSys and LMC (working on the Seduo.cz platform) to a Senior Application Developer running my own freelance practice since 2022. This journey has given me deep understanding of both startup and enterprise-level development needs.
What sets me apart:
- End-to-end delivery: I handle everything from database design and backend architecture to pixel-perfect frontend implementation.
- Performance-focused: I optimize for speed, scalability, and SEO best practices, ensuring your application performs at its best.
- Clear communication: I provide regular updates, clean documentation, and transparent project management.
- Reliable and deadline-driven: With years of working in Agile and Waterfall environments, I deliver quality work on time.
I hold a degree in Information Technology from Masaryk University Brno and continuously invest in expanding my technical skill set. Whether you need a complete web application built from scratch, an existing system improved, or technical consultation, I'm ready to help bring your project to life.
