Since its creation in 2008, Databáze-her.cz (DH) became the most visited czech-slovak database of videogames, providing valuable source of information about games both old and brand new. I founded the website with the idea of "user content above all" - so all game profiles are created by people who understand games the most - players themselves. Players can do bunch of things you would expect on a database - rate games, discuss, comment, create lists, check out charts, catalogize owned games, find new one to play and so on. My main responsibility through more than decade of operation was to drive website development - introduce and implement new functionality, lead the internal team of moderators, manage the community (+ social networks), ensure problem-free run and organization of dozens of community events.Used tech.: PHP / MySQL / HTML5 / CSS / JavaScript
