On the internet I go by the pseudonym fodsqa, but my name is Michal. I focus on building websites and web applications, where I most often use PHP and React.
I am 28 years old and I come from Rudnianska Lehota, a small village in the district of Prievidza. I have been living in Žilina for several years, where I worked as a web developer at EZMID for a long time (~8 years).
Today I work as a contractor and I am open to new projects and collaborations. So feel free to write to me and we can work something out :)
Besides work for clients, I also have my own projects that I look after long-term and keep developing.
idemvencit.sk is something I founded back in 2021, later partners joined in and it is still the one closest to my heart. It is a platform for dog owners that gathers information about places for walking dogs. We also offer a product in the form of QR collars that raise the chance of a lost dog getting back home. Here I mostly take care of the technical side – from developing the website and backend through CI/CD and deployment to managing the servers and infrastructure.
Clockduo.com is a project I work on alone. It is a time tracker built around the ability to track several tasks at once. Here, besides the whole technical solution, I of course handle all of the business side as well.
I like various web technologies, but for backend development I have grown most fond of the PHP framework Laravel, and I also do a lot of work in WordPress (I have written a plugin or two as well). I also have experience with Symfony and CodeIgniter.
On the frontend I work mainly with React, HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, simply the classic webdev stack.
I also like managing and configuring servers running on the Linux operating system.
Besides that, I have various knowledge of tools (Git, npm, Composer, Docker, Grunt, Jenkins), pre-processors (SASS/SCSS, LESS), CSS libraries (Bootstrap, Tailwind), frameworks (Symfony, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Next.js, TanStack) and others like Node.js, Bash, WebSockets.
In my free time, I program microcontrollers (ESP8266, ESP32) with which I explore IoT technologies.
Besides that, I also make videos on the fodsqa YouTube channel, where I mostly share either these IoT projects or Airsoft gameplays.
I would also count 3D printing and modelling in Blender or FreeCAD among my hobbies.
And not to forget, I love playing games on PC and I have even started making them, trying out both Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. You can find some of it on my YouTube channel too.
