After more than 12 years of working as a web developer, I would categorize myself as a Front-end or JavaScript developer.
But I have a wider scope of knowledge including designing (I often worked closely with designers), front-end development (HTML5, CSS3, JS, Angular), backend development and open-source technologies (PHP, Node.js, WordPress) as well as my favorite MEAN stack.
In GAMO company, I worked as a front-end developer and a graphic designer. We programmed the backend in groupware technology IBM Lotus Notes.

LinkedIn profileI worked on tens of smaller and bigger projects during my 12-year career. You’ll find more information in my CV section.
Here, I will present some of my own projects which I think deserve your attention.
Angular.sk is my side project. I created a series of instructional videos for beginners who want to learn working with Angular 2+.
VisitI like to try new things and I worked with various technologies in various positions from front-end development, designing in Photoshop to backend development.
Get to know how I use technologies for my projects.
Typescript based Javascript framework for creating SPA aplications
I have rich experience in Angular. I use it mainly for robust and big SPA applications (single page applications) of various kinds and complexity.
If you’re interested, I can provide a list of big Angular projects I worked on.
Cross-platform environment for the development of powerful server applications
Node.js is my favourite technology. Its asynchronous model, which enables you to execute the parallel code, is something I really miss in other technologies. I like its speed and flexibility, which is why I use node.js as my go-to technology when I need to develop robust server-side solutions.
Minimalistic framework for nodeJS applications
When creating more complicated applications, I use Express.js as a backbone of my node.js application.
NoSQL database
Although many people don’t like MongoDB database, for me, it is the most natural choice in combination with node.js and Angular. I’m not saying it is perfect, but the irrelational data structures can be beneficial for certain kinds of projects.
My favourite programming language
I am also one of those who love JavaScript. Despite its imperfections, I consider it a programming language you can use to create anything. Whether it is node.js on the backend or animations in canvas, no language is as flexible as JavaScript. That’s why I like it.
Popular script language for creation of client-server applications for development of dynamic web pages
As a popular script language for client-server applications and dynamic web pages, PHP was the first language I learned. I used it mostly for WordPress and although I substituted it by node.js and JavaScript in the last couple of years, I did not forget it…
Most popular SQL database
When working with PHP and WordPress, I used MySQL database the most often. I use it to this day for projects that need a simple relational database.
Most favourite CMS system
I am quite fond of WordPress. Although I don’t use PHP very much these days, I think WordPress is a great choice when creating a simple, “budget” website. I can use it at the professional level and I can create the plugins too.
Coding and styling
Front-end development is my strong point. I dare say that I can code basically anything. I can easily convert the graphic design into the HTML/CSS code, responsive for all the devices.
Framework for creating Canvas and WebGL browser games
This website is created in a Phaser JavaScript framework. It is relatively simple and it is quite fun to work with. I used it to create many Facebook minigames too.
A popular graphic editing tool
I master Photoshop at a high level. Since I worked as a designer/programmer, I have experience in creating a design that can be programmed subsequently.
My name is Peter Oravec and I am a creative web developer with more than 12 years of experience. I'm currently based in Bratislava, Slovakia. My main focus lies on the front-end, JavaScript and Angular development.
I also have rich experience as a backend developer, mostly in MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, Angular, Node.js) stack.
My first contact with web development was more than 12 years ago in high school. I liked how I can create something from nothing, so I spent a lot of time experimenting with PHP outside the school too.
I learned everything by myself from the available resources (mostly books at that time) and I gradually became a graphic designer, coder and a backend developer in one person.
As my first official job, I worked for GAMO company, programming in Lotus Notes and doing also graphics and front-end. Lotus Notes was not my cup of coffee so I focused on JS, PHP and classical LAMP stack in the next couple of years.
As JavaScript gradually began to be used also in the backend, I switched from PHP to node.js. It has become my main backend language and I’ve never regretted this decision.
I feel most comfortable developing SPA applications in Angular; ideally with some front-end animations (which is something I enjoy quite a lot). I have no problem to cover the backend with node.js and ExpressJS too.
My strongest asset is that I am an interlink between the graphics, front-end and backend.
I use Node.js and ExpressJS on the backend and Angular (or other frameworks) on the front-end. I find it convenient to use only one language for everything.
Node.js with ExpressJS create a spinal bone of majority of my JS applications.
The best thing about Node.js is its asynchronicity which helps to achieve great performance of every API built on it.
Although many people don’t like JavaScript, I think it is a language that can do more than any other programming language, if used properly.
When it comes to SPA applications, my choice is clear - Angular. In connection with Typescript, it is an ideal framework for the creation of robust applications.
I don’t work with React and up to now, I haven't felt like I need to learn it. I think Angular is more understandable and its code is better defined. Also, the transition to newer versions is much easier than in React.
I learned how to use PHP from offline paper books. I worked with it for many years, especially in WordPress.
Although PHP is being further developed and it has become quite a reasonable programming language, I don’t use it anymore.
The only exception is when I work with WordPress, which I know very well and I can program templates and plug-ins too.
Before I became a programmer, I worked mainly as a graphic designer and a coder in one person. I learned to design and code at the same time simply because I had to and I’ve liked the combination since.
The main advantage of this approach is that I can evaluate what can be drawn and programmed within the budget and on time. I can also program things the same way they were drawn, which is something many graphic designers can’t estimate.
Although I don’t do a lot of graphic design these days, I always design my own projects: QuizEditor.com or Angular.sk.
Every developer should have a pretty portfolio and I did my best to have one. The portfolio is like a shop window, it should show the best.
I decided to think a little bit outside of the box and I hope the result is worth it.
My aim was to create a portfolio that will stick out of the crowd of hundreds of other CVs from other programmers. A CV nobody else has!
I hope I succeeded…
Bugs don’t have a chance! I have experience with automated testing and writing of automated tests in Node.js
Whether we talk about front-end or backend, I worked with testing frameworks as Protractor (for Angular apps), Mocha, Jasmine, Nightwatch.js, Pupeteer or Codecept.
I can write automated tests in JS which will test the functionality of the whole web pages. My personal favorite is a combination of Codepect + Pupeteer.
Maybe you’re interested how does this portfolio work and how come that such a creative game works in browsers, tablets and mobiles.
Answer is simple: Javascript + HTML 5 Canvas + Phaser Game Engine. It works mainly thanks to Phaser, which is a JS engine for 2D games creation. It enables you to work with sprite graphics, tilesets, physics and further gaming mechanics.
Gaming map in this portfolio is created from the so-called tilesheets in a program called TILED. It is actually an editor in which you create the design of your map in layers.
The rest of the work consists of JSON and Javascript which will link it into one huge “game loop" which is triggered about 60x per second.
Of course, it sounds simply but it requires enough knowledge, time and experience for creating similar game...
