Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Schovanec is a Staff Engineer based in Prague with 11 years of hands-on experience building full-stack web systems using Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Kafka and Elasticsearch. He blends backend, microservices and frontend work (React/MobX) with a pragmatic curiosity for language design—experimenting with Crystal and unafraid of functional languages like Haskell or Clojure. A frequent speaker and community organizer for Prague Ruby Meetup, he enjoys translating deep system-level knowledge (databases, caches, pub/sub) into practical product improvements rather than just churning code. He’s also a long-time freelancer and founder who contributes to open source and pairs UX wireframing sensibility with engineering rigor.
