Jiří Balcar is a pragmatic Back End Developer and Techlead with 11 years of experience building Spring Boot and Kotlin/Java systems and leading teams across banking and startup environments. He combines hands-on backend work (Java 21, Spring 6/Boot 3, Hibernate, Kafka, GraphQL) with frontend Angular experience and a background in digital channels architecture for large-scale internet and mobile banking. Comfortable from low-level TCP/IP and VOIP interests to systems administration (Linux, Tomcat, NGINX) and Kubernetes/Docker deployments, he often bridges architecture, integration and delivery. His career blends formal analysis skills (UML, BPMN) and product-facing leadership—he has led a ~50-person digital channels domain while still shipping code and mentoring teams. Notably, he moves between tech-lead roles in startups and hands-on freelance work, keeping both deep technical craft and pragmatic operational perspective.
