# Radek Chocholouš

Software developer interested mainly on full-stack or backend development with main focus on solving problems, not only typing a code.

Apart of that, I enjoy exploring new places, hiking, photography, architecture and I recently begin learning how to fly planes.

During my university, I was actively volunteering in Erasmus Student Network (ESN), where we were helping hundreds of international students each semester and thanks to which, international environment became my second home.

Although I play around computers since elementary school, my first real-world project was system for organizing cooperation between international and local students done for my local ESN organization at the beginning of my university life. Since then, I worked on various commercial projects as well as developed some personal applications and run them in my homelab.

This website can hardly be considered as done and serve primarily as a quick placeholder to link to my personal projects.

Those are the main technologies I work with. However the list is not exhaustive and I am up for new challenges as well.

## Notable personal projects

### Georgian Marshrutka

2024; Link

Since I first visited Georgia in 2016, I felt in love with the country as well as their a bit chaotic marshrutka system for public transformation. During one of my visits, I struggled to find the correct marshrutka to take me to my destination which served as an idea to help with that - for myself, as well as other fellow travellers and someday, maybe even locals.

This was also great project to practice my skills and knowledge, especially regarding graph theory.
