František Kráčmar

“Software engineer who is looking to bring as much value as possible.”

I build back-end systems in Java and Python, and I care how they are made.

Story

How I came to the trade.

In 2015 I realized that a computer can be a great tool to automate a lot of tasks. During the summer, between night shifts at the bakery, I made my first app to manage my own budget – in Excel.

Based on that, I bent my path at university from pure mechanical engineering to a combination of mechanical engineering, automation and computer science. Since then I always try to find the ideal combination of these disciplines when solving engineering problems.

I have several years of experience, mainly in back-end development, spending most of my time with Python and C++. A programming language is only a tool to reach the goal – I am open to new languages and technologies, which is also how I usually spend my free time: learning new things.

Principles

Three things I hold to.

Value first

Use the proper technology to bring value to the user.

Clean code

Code is read far more often than it is written.

Build better, faster

Always looking for ways to build better software faster.

Path

The guild path.
