Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJarka Košanová is a senior software engineer with 15+ years of backend experience and a track record of shipping and maintaining complex, production-grade systems across Ruby, PHP, and Python stacks. She combines deep technical ownership—architecture, deployment, and long-term maintenance—with practical front-end skills in Vue.js and React to deliver end-to-end features. At GitLab she progressed from senior engineer to staff-level influence and a stint as an engineering manager, driving cross-team improvements, async collaboration, and early adoption of AI-assisted workflows. Now focused on automating operations, custom integrations, and AI-driven apps, she excels at simplifying messy codebases and operational processes while mentoring teams to increase autonomy. Based in Plzeň, Czechia, she pairs hands-on implementation fluency with an MBA-informed perspective on sustainable delivery and clear, documented execution.
