Šimon Káňa

Full-stack developer in Prague, open to full-time and contract work.

About

Hi, I'm Šimon. I build web apps for a living, and spend the rest of my time with a guitar, a camera or a climbing rope.

I'm a full-stack developer based in Prague. For the past couple of years I've been building web applications for startups, businesses and my own freelance clients, usually looking after everything from the database to the interface. I like software that's reliable, and I like working with people who say things plainly.

Away from the screen I play guitar and sing, I'm finding my way around photography and filmmaking, and I climb, indoors and out on real rock. If the weather's good, I'm probably outside.
