Bio
Franek is a talented and ever curious developer who gave up his academic career shortly after writing his Ph.D. in Material Science for his hobby and great passion—coding. Learning new libraries and frameworks for both the front and the back end brings him joy and satisfaction daily. He loves working on small websites where he can experiment with what is hot in the front-end world, as well as on larger, long-term projects where he can concentrate on the bigger picture.
