Daniel Kucal

Passionate, business-oriented software engineer with over 8 years of experience, recognized for problem-solving skills, resourcefulness and task automation expertise. Known for being helpful, proactive, and self-motivated. Proven to be a collaborative team player, adept at both learning from and mentoring others.

My focus is on developing scalable, top-tier Web applications, taking advantage of best in class, modern technologies and architectural approaches with the preference for Open-Source solutions. My favorite tools of choice are:

• Bun - a fast, all-in-one JavaScript toolkit, known for its speed and compliance with node.js;
• AWS Cloud - for easily-deployable production-ready solutions at scale;
• NX + pnpm - to keep all connected apps and their dependencies within single repository;
• TypeScript - one language shared between clients, servers, and common code;
• Angular - bringing well-thought-out, scalable architecture to frontend applications;
• Next.js - modern full-stack framework utilizing React, with solutions for SEO and prerendering;
• NestJS - robust Node.js framework with architecture heavily inspired by Angular;
• RxJS - for handling complex asynchronous data flows using the principles of Reactive Programming;
• Jest / vitest and Playwright - for fast and comprehensive testing;

Code quality is something I attach great importance to, so I’m consistently expanding my knowledge in the areas of its security, performance, scalability and maintenance. I particularly follow naming conventions, software design and architectural patterns, use conventional commits and 12-factor app principles.

As Linus Torvalds would say:

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

I truly believe my achievements speak for itself. Please see the projects I've done, my contributions on Github and StackOverflow where I'm active under my favorite tags - Angular (top 1%), TypeScript (top 5%) and JavaScript (top 3%).
