Hi! Please tell us who you are and what you do at MADFINGER Games.

• Hello, my name is Lukas, and I work as a Web Developer in charge of all of our web applications.

What is the first thing you do when you get to work in the morning? What does your typical day look like?

• The first thing I do is make sure that everything is up and running, and then I check if someone reported a bug or requested new functionality and put it into my backlog if they did. Then I often have breakfast with my colleagues. After that, I start implementing tasks or fixing bugs based on priority. Sometimes, during the afternoon, I go into our gym to clear my head. 

What would you say you currently spend the most time on? What tools do you use for your work?

• We have several web applications with many different technologies, so I spend my time improving my knowledge of them and making sure that they work as intended. My favorite IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is Visual Studio Code because it is light and free, so I can use it for any project. We use Figma for designs, Postman for testing endpoints, and Git as a version control solution.

Would you say your position is more of a “lone wolf” type of deal, or do you have to work with other members of the team often and communicate?

• I am more of a team player, and I prefer knowing exactly what is needed, so I'm trying to communicate a lot. I spend enough time with my team to make sure that I understand what we plan for the future, so we are all on the same page and prepared for anything that lies ahead.

What do you think are the biggest challenges that you have to overcome?

• We are using many modern technologies like Next.js or Gatsby for React.js, so I am constantly trying to improve myself. The world of web technologies is evolving really fast, so I'm never out of things to learn.

What about games? Do you play, and if so, what are your favorite ones?

• Not only do I play games, but I even make them in my spare time to improve my programming skills. I started playing games when I was a child and never stopped. I love RPGs, strategy games and shooters. Amongst my favorites are Dark Souls, Starcraft and the Witcher series.

And outside the studio? Any other hobbies?

• I love sports almost as much as games. Mainly I play badminton, but I'm trying to do some kind of sporty activity every day.

Thanks for the interview!

• No problem.
