Design Engineer

I craft full-stack learning platforms that don't suck — used by Apple, Netflix, and thousands of devs.

About me

I'm Vojta Holik — co-founder of badass.dev and the design engineer behind some of the most successful developer courses on the internet.

Since 2020, I've been building custom course platforms with Joel Hooks (egghead.io) using our open-source CMS, Course Builder.

I've helped creators like Kent C. Dodds and Matt Pocock teach millions with fast, opinionated, battle-tested platforms — used by teams at Apple, EA, Netflix, and more.
