Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOndřej Grover is a scientific assistant and software engineer based in Prague with 14 years of hands-on experience building and improving static site tooling and internationalization features. With roots in applied physics, he brings a methodical, research-oriented approach to web and back-end development, demonstrated by substantial contributions to widely used open-source projects like Pelican and Nikola. He has specialized in i18n solutions—authoring the i18n_subsites plugin and adding jinja2 gettext support—to enable language-specific subsites and more flexible translation workflows. His work also improved performance and developer ergonomics in Pelican through caching, selective output writing, and locale-aware date handling. Comfortable across the stack, Ondřej blends academic rigor with practical engineering to solve subtle localization and templating problems that often go unnoticed.
