Summary
Rostislav Novák is a pragmatic software developer based in Prague with over a decade of hands-on experience building Java-based backend systems and APIs. He favors clean, reactive code and applies strong fundamentals in design patterns, algorithms and programming paradigms rather than committing to a single language, which has led him to experiment with Smalltalk, Lisp, Prolog and many modern stacks. Currently at Internet Mall, he combines Spring, Hibernate and MySQL expertise with growing DevOps skills—Docker, Kubernetes and GitLab CI/CD—to ship reliable services in production. A quick learner by practice, he is actively exploring Kotlin, Android and Angular while maintaining public code and projects on GitHub and GitLab. His background ties academic rigour from CTU with varied industry roles from testing and internships to full-stack development, giving him a versatile, systems-oriented perspective.
