Hello there and welcome to my website!
My name is Borut Balažek, and I am a Full-Stack Web Developer based in Slovenia, Europe, who enjoys building things.
About Me
I first became interested in web development around 15 years ago. In the beginning, I started coding very basic HTML websites, but with years of hard work and learning, I got into more and more complex projects. Nowadays I mostly develop custom web and hybrid mobile/desktop applications, but I still do have extensive knowledge of developing websites, eCommerce shops and custom themes/plugins for WordPress.
My primary stack is PHP (Symfony) for backend, React for frontend and React Native for apps. In addition I also use Javascript, Typescript & Docker on a daily basis, and then Python, C#, Go, MongoDB and Elasticseach I also use here and there for personal projects. You can view the full list of my skills at Visual CV.
When I do not work on commercial projects for my clients/employer, I learn, work and experiment with machine learning and Game Development in Unity & Unreal Engine.
My mother language is Slovenian, but I also fluently speak English and German.
My traits are proactivity, reliability, adaptability, dedication and perfectionism.
Outside the office, I enjoy time with my girlfriend and my two dogs.
Sometimes I also take photos and make music!
My Work
I have already worked for many companies and agencies. Here, just to list a few: Philips, RWE, Innogy, Dannon, Einrichtungspartnerring VME, LesMills, Radenska, Union, Medex, Diggit, Planet Tuš and many more.
My primary workflow and communication tools are Slack, Github, Trello.
