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.

    Frontend Architect, 7/2024 – 2/2026

    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.

  • TireCheck

    Senior Frontend Developer, 5/2019 – 11/2025

    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.

  • CREDITAS

    External Frontend Team Leader, 6/2023 – 3/2024

    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.

Personal Interests

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.

  • Michal Očko • Chief Technology Officer · SOFTINO services s.r.o. • April 2, 2026 • Direct manager

    What I especially valued about Pavel was his independence, sense of responsibility, and ability to move projects forward in a structured and efficient way. He is an experienced frontend developer with strong expertise in architecture, technical leadership, and setting development standards. At Softino, he designed and helped implement a modern microfrontend dev stack with a BFF, and also contributed to optimizing the Docker setup. I can highly recommend Pavel.

  • Pavol Adamek • Senior Manager · Accenture Technology • March 25, 2026 • Direct manager

    I worked with Pavel during a very demanding phase of the project, when it was critical to keep delivery on track and the whole team was under significant pressure. I greatly appreciated that he was willing to make time beyond normal working hours and was practically operating almost 24/7 to help keep delivery moving (I believe he hit his personal record for longest shift in his life only to make the delivery work!). Also he was amazingly quick in adjusting to scope changes, implementing enhancements, issues analysis and bugfix. In addition to his frontend delivery, he also provided significant help with a frontend developers interviews (for very specific tasks and technology/framework we needed), which he led very professionally and with an excellent understanding of the project’s specific needs. Pavel is reliable, independent, and technically very strong, and I would gladly work with him again. If time/cost/reliability is the matter, Pavel is certainly the guy to go to! Thank you Pavel once again!

  • Matouš Skála • CTO · Fitify • March 5, 2026 • Direct manager

    I’ve worked with Pavel on our web frontend project. He genuinely cares about developer experience and keeps a close eye on modern tools and trends in the ecosystem. He played an important role in setting up our monorepo infrastructure and improving the deployment process, helping us build and ship more efficiently. He also brings a bit of dry humour to the team, which is very much part of his personality.

  • Michal Palaš • General Manager · Tirecheck • February 5, 2026 • Direct manager

    I highly recommend Pavel for his excellent technical skills and ability to deliver high-quality, well-structured code. Pavel is reliable, consistently meets deadlines, and handles challenges with strong problem-solving abilities. Additionally, he is a great team player and contributes positively to collaboration.
