Marek Šťovíček

An analytical builder of iOS apps, an ESP32 tinkerer, and an occasional climber who takes architecture seriously — even on the bouldering wall.

About

An analytical builder with a maker mentality, high standards for quality, strong self-reflection, and a naturally senior approach to technology.

Analytical Builder

I break problems into smaller parts and look for structure. I care not just about how to do something, but how to do it well and sustainably.

Maker Mentality

I build things from scratch — from iOS apps to ESP32 firmware. I don't want a ready-made solution when I can understand the principle and build my own.

Quality Without Compromise

I think about architecture, naming, and extensibility even in smaller projects. A professional mindset — sometimes too much so.

Practical Minimalist

Minimal UI, simple UX, small tools that do one thing well. Elegant solutions over giant frameworks.

Hobbies

Bouldering

A physical puzzle — I analyze the route, plan the holds, then discover that gravity has a different opinion.

Skate & Blades

Freedom on wheels. No rules, no score, just flow — and occasionally asphalt.

Tinkering & Electronics

ESP32, custom firmware, smart lamps, LED strips — if it has a chip, I want to take it apart and build it better.

Nature & Hiking

The antidote to the monitor. Forest, tent, silence — and GPS when I inevitably get lost.

Reading

Mainly King, Sapkowski, Weir — horror, fantasy, hard sci-fi. Primarily relaxation, occasionally something that makes the brain work overtime.
