Who am I?
I'm a startup builder, who happens to also be studying economics. I have been primarily in the role CTO at the beginning of several startups. My personal WHY is to build products using innovative solutions that make people's lives better. Whether by promoting sustainability, enhancing productivity, controlling RGB lights or fostering better relationships. And sometimes I write on cool stuff.
Building cool stuff is my passion
I pitch startups sometimes
... and love yapping about them
I get baffled by economics
Also love adventurous hikes (join me?)

Work experience
Over the years, I've had the privilege to work on several exciting projects, ranging from innovative startups to amazing web applications. Some of my highlights so far:
Bondery
Currently building an open-source personal CRM platform to help people build better relationships and networks. It helps users track and remember key details about your contacts and get notified about their updates. Motivated by the need to maintain meaningful network in a busy world.
Cognivibe
Led the development of a cross-platform AI-powered mental fitness coach for your brain. Architected and shipped a real-time app to measure users' cognitive effort. Driven by the goal to make mental health more measurable and actionable. Built with Tauri, React, and Rust.
ReKrabice
Invented and launched the first Czech reusable packaging system for e-commerce. Aimed to reduce environmental impact and operational costs, the initiative saved over 2,222 single-use boxes and established partnerships with Balíkovna and T-Mobile CZ. Pitched the startup at events, earning several awards.
Spectoda
My first hands-on experience with the Czech startup ecosystem. My job was to implement advanced UI features in React and migrate legacy code to Tailwind CSS, significantly improving the usability and maintainability of the smart RGB LED lamp control app.
Academic background
Apart from building startups, I love pursuing knowledge. I'm fascinated by how intertwined and complex our world is. How even a small nudge can result in major social shifts. I try to find an answer for these changes by studying Economics.
