Matej Bunček is a pragmatic software engineer with 9 years of experience building backend systems using PHP, TypeScript and Go, currently focused on backend and algorithmic problems. He has a track record of migrating legacy PHP systems to modern stacks, rewriting critical auth components in Go, and optimizing high-throughput data pipelines (including MongoDB-to-Elasticsearch replication at ~100k docs/sec). Comfortable across the stack, he pairs backend architecture with occasional Vue/React frontend work and close collaboration with mobile teams. His work emphasizes observability and performance—using Grafana, Prometheus, Jaeger and Loki—to measure and improve large-scale social and betting platforms. Based in the Trnava region of Slovakia, he brings practical DevOps savvy from years managing Linux servers and deploying services with NixOS. Colleagues know him for pragmatic engineering choices that trade theoretical purity for measurable production improvements.
