Pavel Kleisner
Backend-heavy full-stack developer and tech lead focused on system architecture, long-term maintainability and building meaningful micro-SaaS products.
What I do
I design and build backend systems that are meant to last. Systems that are understandable, maintainable and resilient even years after the initial implementation.
My primary focus is backend development, but my full-stack background allows me to understand products as a whole — from database design and APIs to frontend needs and user experience.
Over the years, I’ve learned that technical excellence alone is not enough. The best systems are those that balance technical soundness with real-world constraints.
Core areas
Backend & architecture
I focus on clean backend architecture, clear responsibilities and data models that reflect the domain.
I prefer boring, proven technologies used in a thoughtful way. Stability and clarity usually beat novelty.
Pragmatic engineering
I strongly believe in pragmatic decision-making. Not every problem needs a complex solution.
Choosing the right level of abstraction is often more important than choosing the newest framework.
Micro-SaaS mindset
I actively work on my own micro-SaaS ideas. Small, focused tools solving concrete problems.
Owning the entire lifecycle brings valuable insights into product thinking, maintenance and real users.
How I think about software
Software is a long-term investment. Decisions made today will affect the team and the product years later.
I aim to reduce cognitive load for future developers — including my future self. Clear naming, explicit boundaries and simple flows are key.
I value communication and collaboration. The best solutions often emerge from discussions between developers, product owners and stakeholders.
