About

A developer who wants to understand the whole system — not just their part of it.

My name is Ján Pňaček and for about 15 years I have been working professionally on web applications in Symfony and PHP. A good application is not just code to me — it is also database design, the way it is deployed, server configuration and how the system behaves after years in operation.

I like building my own products and solving practical problems. That is how Hivey for beekeepers and SensorMetrics for collecting data from temperature sensors came to life.

How I think

01 Problem first, technology second Sometimes a smaller change is enough than you expected.
02 Simple, proven solutions Symfony standards instead of experiments.
03 Small, verifiable steps Continuous deployment and feedback.
04 Open about risks If something is not a good idea, I will say so early.
