Peter Oravec - Front-end Developer | Javascript | Angular

Technologies

I like to try new things and have gone through various technologies and positions, from front-end development, designing in Photoshop to backend development. Learn more about how I use technologies for my projects.

Angular

TypeScript JavaScript framework for building SPA applications

I have extensive experience with Angular, using it mainly to build robust and large SPA applications (single-page applications) of various types and complexity.

If you're interested, I can provide you with a list of large Angular projects I've worked on.

Node.js

Cross-platform environment for developing powerful server applications

Node.js is my favorite technology. Its asynchronous model, which allows parallel code execution, is something other technologies can't match. I also like the speed and flexibility of Node.js. It's my main go-to technology when I need to develop robust server-side solutions.

Express.JS

Minimalist framework for Node.js

Whenever I create more complex applications in Node.js, I use Express.js as the backbone of my Node.js application.

Javascript

My favourite language

I also love JavaScript. I consider it a very powerful language in which you can create anything today. Whether it's my favorite JS on the backend like Node.js or animations in canvas. No language has as much flexibility as JavaScript and I like that.

Other technologies and experience

Automation via Puppeteer
Automated tests via Midnight, Playwright
MongoDB
HTML / CSS
Phaser.js - 2D canvas / WebGL game engine
Photoshop
MySQL
Google Firestore
Mockflow - wireframes

About me

Peter Oravec

Front-end & MEAN Stack developer

Bridging the Gap Between Design and Code

I'm Peter Oravec, a creative web developer with over 19 years of experience, currently based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

My primary focus is on Front-End, JavaScript and Angular, but I also have deep experience as a full-stack developer, especially in the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js).

I feel most at home building Single Page Applications (SPAs) in Angular, especially those requiring complex animations and fluid interactivity. However, my strongest asset isn't just my code—it's my ability to act as the vital link between graphics, front-end, and backend.

I understand the visual language of designers and the structural needs of backend engineers, ensuring a flawless final product.

Curriculum Vitae

I have over 19 years of experience in web development. I would categorize myself as a front-end or JavaScript developer.

I have a broader range of knowledge, having worked as a graphic designer, UI/UX designer and overall as a full-stack developer. I was often the bridge between designers and backend. I understand the needs of both sides and understand the visual language of designers as well as the structural needs of backend engineers, ensuring a flawless final product.

During my career, I've had the opportunity to work in every type of company, from small, medium-sized, digital agencies to large corporations.

Bethereum

Angular & Front-end developer

Bethereum is a crypto betting platform for sports and e-sports. For Bethereum I work as a Front-end & Angular developer. It's probably the most complex Angular project I've worked on so far.

2020

VUB Bank Intesa Sanpaolo Group

Angular & Front-end developer

Current position

My primary role at the bank is digitizing internal processes within the bank. If a process takes too long, costs a lot of money and can be replaced by an automated process, we program it.

100% Vibe coding

This entire website was created as an experiment with a modern approach to development – so-called vibe coding. My goal was to test the limits of human-AI collaboration when building a complex digital product completely from scratch.

The result? A fascinating synergy that has its clear rules.

AI provided speed, but I had to provide direction, logical consistency and the final integration of all parts into a functional whole.

Context is king: Without deep understanding of the code and the ability to precisely define the task, AI quickly gets tangled up.

Critical thinking: Every line generated by the machine went through rigorous human review and manual fine-tuning of details that escape the machine.

This website is proof that AI can push the boundaries of what's possible, but only in the hands of someone who knows exactly what they're doing. It's a brilliant assistant, but you must remain the captain and architect.

Automatic testing

Nobody likes bugs. I personally have experience with automatic testing of both backend and frontend.

My favorite tools for End-To-End frontend testing include Midnight, Playwright and Puppeteer. With them, I can create tests that run in a CI environment before every deployment or other browser automation.

When API testing is needed, I use Mocha and Chai libraries. I'm a fan of automation.

Collectible card - From Node.js to Canvas

From Node.js logic to visual art in Canvas

I've been specializing in the JS ecosystem for a long time, where I feel at home. Whether it's a robust backend in Node.js and Express.js, dynamic frontends in Angular, or creative visual solutions in Canvas, I see JavaScript as a tool with unlimited possibilities.

My main strength is that I'm a mix of designer, front-end developer and backend developer in one. It has always been this way and I'm used to covering all the pain points of development.

Collectible card - Deprecated Technologies

Technologies I buried

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Lotus Notes didn't kill me, although it tried very hard. After years of fighting with it, PHP and WordPress, I closed this chapter with relief (and a mild celebration).

Today I use these battle scars to create better, faster and more stable solutions. Exclusively in JavaScript.

AI: Competitor or colleague?

The ability to write syntactically correct code is no longer rare. AI does it faster, for free, and 24/7.

However, programming isn't about writing lines, but knowing which lines not to write. AI is just a powerful generator and I am the filter.
