Lukáš Kudlík

Lukáš Kudlík is currently a Javascript Astronaut at Prezly. Prior to this, they were a Frontend Developer at ROI Hunter from April 2016 to November 2017. There, they worked on a Photoshop-like editor developed in React using KonvaJS, which allowed users to create product ad templates for Facebook advertising. Lukáš later refactored the code base to Typescript to increase code safety and stability, resulting in less need for unit tests.

The editor Lukáš worked on supported drag & drop, layers (images, texts etc.) with the ability to rearrange, hide or delete them, layer folders, multitude of custom fonts via Google Fonts, custom wildcards for text replacement and so on. The end result was a JSON template that was later fed by backend APIs into our NodeJS application using KonvaJS again, but this time receiving the JSON template along with a stream of data which was used to generate the final image (ad) with correct product info. Speed was the name of the game as they were generating tens of thousands of images every hour.

Before ROI Hunter, Lukáš was the Lead Web Developer at InQool a.s. from April 2013 to March 2016.
