Hi, I’m Eva.

I build things

for users to enjoy and teams to build on.

From system prompt to interface: frontend-first fullstack developer, with a background in linguistics and QA.

Eva Machóvá — frontend developer

After an MA in linguistics, I moved into tech through QA — which gave me a foundation I still rely on: thinking in edge cases, questioning assumptions, caring about what breaks. My passion for UX/UI then pulled me into frontend, and after leading a dev team I went deeper — React Native, FastAPI, LLM-integrated backends. That last part feels like a full circle. Turns out designing a system prompt isn’t that far from linguistics. 🙂

I care about clean, maintainable code and like leaving things better than I found them. My goal stays the same: build things that make users go “oh, that’s cool.” Lately I’ve been going deeper into agentic development, building workflows in Claude Code and exploring what that means for how products get built.

Beey

2020-2025 · Newton Technologies
Frontend DeveloperDev Team LeadQAUX/UI Design

AI powered transcription and subtitling platform used by thousands built around a rich-text editor with a media player, associated apps and more.

I grew with the project across five years and four roles: tester, UX/UI responsible, frontend developer, and briefly a dev team lead - ending up where I'm happiest, in the code.

Beey Live

2024-2025 · Newton Technologies
Fullstack Developer

A real-time subtitling app for live conferences — attendees follow along on their phones while a technician configures audio, transcription engines, and translation on the fly.

I inherited a vanilla JS prototype and rebuilt it into a production-ready React application, then expanded into backend work with Python and Flask.

Beey parser library

2025 · Newton Technologies
Sole Developer

A standalone npm library for parsing and formatting Beey's proprietary transcription file format — built to replace older, brittle code with something robust and maintainable.

I designed and built this solo, with a focus on clean architecture and comprehensive test coverage using Mocha and Chai.

TimeShift

2023-2025 · Newton Technologies
Frontend Developer

A platform for recording and monitoring live TV and radio broadcasts, featuring dashboards, a video player, and interactive timelines.

The challenge was to rapidly develop the application from the ground up in a small team under a tight deadline, using a legacy app as our UX reference.
