Hello, I'm

Samuel Dolezal

A Full-Stack Developer

I focus on creating web applications that combine clean user experience with solid backend functionality.

I work with Next.js, Node.js, APIs, authentication, and databases to build projects that are practical, scalable, and built around real use cases.

My Story

Who am I?

Background

I am a full-stack developer with a strong interest in backend logic, APIs, and performance. Over the last two years, I have focused on teaching myself through real project work and building applications that improved both my technical skills and discipline.

Foundation

My background includes a technical secondary school education in Slovakia focused on cybersecurity, IT, and programming, where I completed my maturita at SPSE Nove Zamky Jedlika. That gave me a solid base, while most of my growth came from self-directed learning and consistent practice.

How I Work

I enjoy building systems that are reliable, efficient, and well structured behind the scenes. I also care about clean user experience, because strong applications need both solid logic and clear presentation.

Mindset

I want my work to reflect something simple: that I am a hard worker who keeps building, keeps learning, and takes progress seriously.

Featured Projects

Projects that reflect my approach to frontend development, backend logic, and building practical full-stack applications.

StackLens

A full-stack documentation search engine that imports and cleans official web-development docs, then returns fast, relevance-ranked results through an indexing and search pipeline I built from scratch.

Built import pipelines for sitemap, llms.txt, and HTML indexes across Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and Prisma, extracting clean article content with Cheerio.

Designed and implemented the entire search engine myself: custom tokenization, a persisted PostgreSQL inverted index, corpus statistics, and BM25 ranking without Elasticsearch, embeddings, or database full-text search.

Crave-Cook

A high-performance full-stack recipe discovery platform built for fast browsing, advanced search, secure favorites, and detailed recipe pages powered by the Spoonacular API.

Built server-rendered recipe pages and fast discovery flows for a large recipe dataset.

Implemented advanced filtering, favorites persistence, and Clerk authentication in one full-stack product flow.

Library-API

A monorepo library management project with a React frontend and an Express plus Prisma backend, focused on authentication, CRUD flows, search, pagination, and API structure.

Designed protected CRUD routes with JWT authentication and a PostgreSQL database through Prisma.

Added pagination, search, and a daily delete-limit system to handle user actions with more realistic backend rules.
