Career

My professional journey in software engineering began as a Java developer at COLSYS S.R.O. and NEIT CONSULTING S.R.O., where I gained valuable experience in developing service and project applications. At COLSYS, I contributed to the development of Java 8-based service applications, while at NEIT CONSULTING, I was part of the team working on the CARE project for Česká Spořitelna a.s., primarily utilizing Java 8 and PL/SQL.

My passion for accessibility led me to my current role as a Software Engineer at MATAPO A.S., where I focus on developing accessible software solutions for mobile devices, particularly for visually impaired users. Here, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including the development of a specialized phone for the visually impaired and compatible software platforms, funded by the Technological Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR). In addition to my technical contributions, I also engage in analytical and development work, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the success of our projects.

Hobbies and Personal Life

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities. I am an avid 3D printing enthusiast and enjoy exploring the possibilities of this emerging technology. Additionally, I am a practitioner of Lok Yiu Wing Chun, a traditional martial art that emphasizes practical self-defense techniques.

Music is another passion of mine, and I love playing the guitar and bass guitar. I find joy in creating music and believe it serves as a form of expression and relaxation.

As a cat owner and lover, I cherish spending time with my feline companions. Their presence brings me comfort and joy, and I value the bond we share.
