About
About me
I'm Maksim Zaytsev, a full-stack developer in Prague. Since 2019 I've been building the frontend of PD3 — Protank Dynamics' logistics platform for waste-collection fleets — as a senior frontend developer in a Czech-speaking team, and one of the main authors of its React codebase.
Before that and alongside it I've worked freelance since 2016: corporate sites, landing pages and web apps for small businesses, from the first sketch to hosting and domains. I studied applied informatics at the University of Economics in Prague.
I care about the whole loop — the data model, the API contract, the interface and how it feels to use. Lately that includes teaching AI agents to work inside a real codebase: skills, MCP servers, review checklists.

Experience
Senior Frontend Developer
PD3, a logistics platform for waste-collection fleets: a React, TypeScript and MobX monorepo with shared UI packages, OpenAPI contracts with the backend, UX decisions made together with the team. Lately also agent skills and tooling so AI assistants can work inside the codebase.
Full-stack Developer, freelance
Corporate sites, landing pages and web apps for small businesses — design, build, deploy, and the unglamorous parts like hosting and domains. Since 2019 mostly own products and tools.
Developer Hatchery
An intensive developer programme at one of the largest Czech software companies.
Front-End Developer
First job: interfaces for a logistics company in Novosibirsk. Learned to ship.

Beyond code
Away from the keyboard
VR shooters and the occasional Twitch stream, strength training with a nutrition log I keep more precisely than I should, drawing, and a 3D printer that turns evenings into small objects. When something annoys me in a game, I write a tool for it.
