FAQ
- Do you have any pet projects you can show?
- No. I haven't built any public pet projects. Most of my time has been
dedicated to commercial projects, while my free time has been spent
on my personal life, rest, and learning new technologies.

- Which project was the most interesting?
- The most interesting projects for me were developing a custom
WooCommerce tax plugin and a DeepL Translator module for OXID
eShop.

I enjoy working with APIs and integrating different systems. My goal is
to make every integration feel like a natural part of the platform, as if it
had always been there.

- Which project was the most challenging?
- One of the biggest challenges was developing a live text feature for a
news website with more than 200,000 daily visitors before the
presidential election.

Besides the technical work, I had to coordinate developers, DevOps
engineers, content managers, team leads, and managers to make sure
everything was delivered on time. The project was launched
successfully.

- What was the hardest project?
- The hardest project was completing a full website redesign in just 12
days, including weekends.

The final design was delivered much later than expected, leaving very
little time for development. The project included many different page
types, interactive features, a mobile version, and an AMP version of
the website.

It required a lot of overtime, but I completed the project on schedule.

- How soon can you start?
- Immediately.
