Summary
👤
SeniorJan Killian is a pragmatic full-stack developer with around 15–18 years of experience designing and shipping product-focused web applications across startups and large enterprises. He combines backend architecture and API design (Node.js/TypeScript, Python, GraphQL) with polished React frontends and reusable component systems, often owning CI/CD, data models and security considerations end-to-end. Comfortable in fully remote, asynchronous teams, he has repeatedly led migrations, prototype workshops and production integrations (payments, parsing complex legal docs) across GCP/AWS/Azure. His background spans building monorepos, npm/pypi packages and test automation—he even contributed QA-focused test maintenance to the long-running brunch web-app project. Known for balancing “make it work, make it beautiful, make it fast,” he brings a practical mix of product empathy, performance attention and cross-timezone collaboration. Based in Prague, he prefers remote-first roles and part-time rhythms that sustain long-term impact.
