PHP Developer · Geek · Star Wars Fan · Japan Fan · mail@jiri-rac.space

I'm from the Czech Republic and currently work as PHP programmer. I have great variety of hobbies, but to sum it up - high-tech, Sci-Fi, Star Wars, Japan, sports and games. I believe, that I can talk to anybody about something and when I want, I can be pretty sociable.

My motto? There can be many, but I will share my belief instead - Always move forward. It's inevitable that on some crossroads I might turn wrong way, but it is still valuable experience to be remembered and even if it might be painful, I will eventually get back to the path I should be moving on.
