Bio

My name is Richard Szolár. I am a Software Engineer living in Slovakia. I am mostly working with Go, Javascript and ReactJS, thus building Single Page Applications with an api-centric approach.

I am trying to make quality software and I am always open to constructive criticism, the kind, which gives you something to grow upon. If you are to criticize something, then you should be able to provide alternative solutions or give the arguments needed to support your point.

In my free time I read a lot of books, watch movies and tv shows and try to keep up with the new technology trends. I would describe myself as a well-informed person that follows the news around the world, is confident, has his principles and dignity.

Also for people interested into what I do in my free time, please read and follow RS Labs. RS Labs is my personal blog where I post about technology, projects I've created or worked with and various technologies in general. I would appreciate if you would share the articles if you like some of them!

Please consider subscribing to my telegram channel, I will post new updates there more often then on other platforms! It would mean a lot to me if you would subscribe to the channel and also if you would interact with the posts!
