Quite a philosophical question, isn't it? But don't worry, here I only describe who I'm in the e-world. I'm Ing. Tomas Groulík, a web-developer and desktop application developer from Czech Republic.
How I became a freelance sw developer
My professional beginnings
After studies and 6 years of employment in a growing company, I was no longer satisfied with the way the company was run, the great pressure on developers and being overwhelmed with work. I experienced major health problems, which intensified due to long-term overload.
One day I decided, that it couldn't go on like this and I raised the anchors.
Travel adventure
I had an intense, amazing and sometimes very difficult 2 years of travel adventure in several parts of the world. I gradually recovered from the consequences of long-term overwork and the worst health problems. I learned languages, new web technologies and also met friends who eventually became my first clients. After some time, I started working remotely through various freelance platforms.
Professional transition to self-employment
The beginnings were very difficult, but I managed to get the business back on its feet through several crises. Gradually, I started to do well in such a way that I didn't feel the need to return to the corporate scene. Even though I perceive that the corporate culture in the Czech Republic has moved towards a "more humane approach" in many companies, I enjoy creating, learning and discovering my own path. I enjoy working in a team, keeping company during the process, so don't hesitate to contact me if you are looking for a remote member to join your team.
I like the process of transformation of project’s idea into live, “breathing” system. I have a passion for delivering highly functional and elegantly designed solution that meets required needs and deadlines.
