Pavel Vladimír Trávníček Frontend Architect & Leader (React/Vue/TypeScript) | Microfrontends (Module Federation) | Project takeover & stabilization | Team leadership & mentoring | Scalable standards & quality gates | Design Systems & Component Libraries
I’m a Senior Frontend Developer with more than 10 years of experience. I build high-quality web and cross-platform applications — I design frontend architecture, optimize performance, and focus on long-term code maintainability, including microfrontends (Module Federation). I can take over a project after a vendor, quickly map the architecture, and establish the dev stack, standards, and processes so the internal team can evolve the product independently long-term.
Alongside hands-on development, I bring strong soft skills: I have experience leading and coordinating teams and larger groups (20+) across engineering, QA, design, and business. I can communicate technical decisions clearly to stakeholders, facilitate workshops, plan and prioritize effectively, and mentor colleagues — from junior to senior engineers. I am a certified Scrum Master and a TOGAF Enterprise Architect, bringing a systematic perspective on collaboration, processes, and architecture across the organization.
I previously studied graphic design, photography, typography, and computer science, which gives me strong practical overlap — an eye for detail, UI consistency, and the ability to connect technical solutions with user experience. I enjoy finding simple, robust solutions to complex problems and building products that are reliable, fast, and a pleasure to maintain.
from 58 USD per hour, standard rate is 73 USD per hour.
VAT: I am a VAT payer — the rate is shown excluding VAT. VAT is charged according to applicable legislation and the type of service (CZ / EU / non-EU).
I typically offer a lower rate for long-term cooperation or larger workloads, provided the scope and priorities are clear and the client actively supports quality delivery (e.g., timely QA/testing, fast feedback, and decision-making without unnecessary delays).
Yes — typically for urgent deadlines, unstable scope with frequent changes, work outside the agreed scope (e.g., covering additional roles), or increased administrative/process overhead. I always communicate any increase in advance. During an ongoing engagement, the maximum increase is usually up to 15%; new project phases may have different terms.
I designed the architecture of a modern microfrontend devstack in a monorepo for a suite of applications and shared packages, and led the key technical decisions throughout its implementation. Together with the team, I developed React applications for subject management, inheritance workflows, and related administration. As part of the platform, I introduced StencilJS and built a cross-framework design system, including React/Vue wrappers, Storybook documentation, and visual testing. The devstack also included a Node.js Fastify backend acting as a BFF/gateway: it handled authentication and session management for the templating service via a session cookie, with JWT managed server-side in Redis and TTL derived from token expiration. It also provided proxying for frontend modules and internal APIs, request tracing, CORS, compression, cache headers, and static build serving. I standardized the API layer by generating the client from OpenAPI and integrating type-safe runtime validation using Zod schemas generated from OpenAPI. For deployment, I prepared Docker builds with a production distroless image.

I worked on a product suite for fleet & tire management—primarily on the INCENTER 2.0 and INFLEET applications, as well as other related apps across the platform. Shortly after joining, I initiated the introduction of JWT-based authentication, strengthening the overall security of the application. I contributed to the migration from Vue 2 to Vue 3, the transition from Cordova to Capacitor, and the move from the legacy backend to a new custom ORM on Node.js, including further development of a GraphQL API built with Apollo on Azure Functions with data stored in Cosmos DB; besides frontend work, I also implemented parts of the API. My work also included refactoring, code reviews, and continuous improvements in stability, performance, and maintainability.

As a consultant provided via an external agency, I took over the frontend project and development stack from a different vendor agency. My role was to stabilize development, map the architecture, establish standards, and ensure knowledge transfer so the internal team could continue developing the product independently long-term. This included technical leadership, mentoring, code reviews, and documentation.

As a part-time senior consultant, I contributed to the development of Waaila (Google Analytics Audit) and Dr.Max CRM. I independently migrated the project from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and designed a plug-in module architecture to enable safe extensibility and long-term maintainability. My work also included implementing new features, refactoring, code reviews, and continuously improving code quality and consistency across the application.

On a greenfield project, I designed and set up the development stack and ways of working from scratch to ensure the product could be developed sustainably over the long term. I introduced clear engineering standards (code quality, review workflow, testing, and consistent UI practices) so the team could deliver predictably without unnecessary technical debt. As an external Frontend Team Leader, I built up the internal frontend team—leading technical interviews, onboarding, mentoring, and ongoing code reviews—and gradually handed over ownership and know-how so the team could continue developing and scaling the product independently.

I contributed to the development of a customer portal for Asahi, including integration with the Salesforce ecosystem. I focused on implementing key features in Vue 3 and integrating with a GraphQL API. My work also included building and maintaining web components (LitElement), refactoring, code reviews, and continuously improving code quality and maintainability. During a demanding period, I helped maintain delivery continuity under increased workload by working repeated overtime within my time availability. I also supported hiring in a minor capacity by conducting one targeted frontend interview.

I spend my free time learning and with my dogs. I relax by cooking and baking—it’s the perfect way for me to switch off. Occasionally I go ice skating, to the sauna, swimming pool, or gym, and I also practice sport shooting (training focus and discipline). I unwind best with friends over hookah and karaoke. And when I want a small daily ritual, I reach for Guatemalan coffee roasted in Italy or loose-leaf tea. When work is lighter, I experiment with my own projects, but I work best with a fixed deadline and clear requirements. Since 2011, I’ve taken part in more than ten hackathons, where our team often placed in the top 3 or won the jury award.
I design frontend architecture and conventions for long-term sustainable development.
I build modular frontends that grow with teams and product—stable and without risky coupling.
I take over projects, quickly map the architecture, and stabilize delivery for safe further development.
I lead teams technically and hands-on, helping people grow and deliver with calm confidence.
I set quality gates so issues fail in CI—not in production.
I build a design system and UI library for consistent UI across apps and frameworks.
A few words from people I've worked with.
