Petr Plíhal
Full-stack Software Developer
I am a software developer with a focus on Python, C/C++, and web technologies.
About Me
Professionally
I'm a Software Developer who enjoys working on anything that makes sense and has real value. I'm not afraid of new challenges and I like learning new technologies and approaches.
I've been involved in computer science for years, building my foundation through studying at FIT BUT and creating personal projects.
Personally
I'm a tech enthusiast who enjoys creating and improving things - from drawings and Lego models to video games and software.
I believe in good planning and design. The questions "why?" and "what for?" are as important as "how?".

Database for General Practitioner
Team project (2 members). We designed a relational DB (ERD), then implemented it including test data, triggers, procedures, views and indexes in SQL for Oracle database. For documentation we used LaTeX. I extended the solution with a Dockerfile.
WiFi Metronome with Web Interface
Microprocessor application hosting a small web server with interface for a 'metronome' that connects to a given WiFi network. MCU implementation used interrupts, timers, pulse width modulation, input validation. Web interface validated input ranges and prevented issues like double submission during use. The solution includes a user manual for setup and usage.
Client Application for Chat Server
Application for sending and receiving messages from a chat server. Uses sockets and manual TCP packet construction for unencrypted communication with the chat server. Implementation uses OOP with some design patterns.
