Hi, I'm Štěpánka.

Portrait of Štěpánka Lucinová. Roudnice n. L. · 14:32

Six years building Django apps — growing products from a handful of installs to thousands.

Started in support. Moved into technical ops. Ended up in software. Never stopped thinking about the user.

Since April 2026 I'm independent — wider stack, same standards, new chapter. Backend with Django, frontend in React, REST or GraphQL in the middle, Postgres in the core.

When I'm away from the keyboard, I'm usually hiking, diving, or somewhere with very few Wi-Fi bars.
