About Me

I see software as more than just a tool—it’s a way to solve organizational bottlenecks and create measurable impact. As both an Engineer and an Entrepreneur, I approach every project by asking "Why?" before "How?"

I focus on designing intelligent solutions—powered by Machine Learning and robust architectures—that solve tangible problems. Whether it's automating EEG labeling for clinicians or streamlining workflows for safety inspectors, my goal is to turn high-level requirements into scalable, mission-critical software.

Bio

Education

Highschool (2013)

Jiráskovo Gymnázium Náchod, Czech Republic (Graduated 2013)

General education with focus on mathematics and physics in late years.

I mostly enjoyed mathematics and computer science classes, which laid the foundation for my future studies and career in software engineering. I loved to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Master's Degree (Graduated 2019)

Master of science, Mathematical Informatics, Czech University of Technology, Czech Republic

This study was focused on the theoretical foundations of computer science, algorithms, and mathematical methods for informatics. I also attended basic course in Physics (mechanics, thermodynamic, electricity and magnetism)

During my studies, I developed a strong interest in algorithms and data science, which led me to explore machine learning and artificial intelligence.

My thesis was focused on "Rule extraction from neural networks", where I researched methods to extract human-readable rules from trained neural network models.

Professional Experience

Java Developer at Notix (2018-2019)

Worked on small team developing backend micro services in Java.

Software Developer at Deymed (2019-2025)

Here my task varied from maintaining existing software to designing and implementing new features and modules. I was also involved in testing, debugging, and QA.

I also participated in research and development projects, exploring new technologies and methodologies to improve our products.

During my time at Deymed, I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs to ensure our software met industry standards and regulations.

Freelance Software Engineer (2025-Present)

Currently, I am working as a freelance software engineer, focusing on building intelligent software solutions for various clients. My work involves designing and implementing advanced algorithms, data processing pipelines, and machine learning models to solve complex problems.

I work primary in the behalf of my own company, Palmaf s.r.o., which allows me to take on diverse projects and collaborate with clients from different industries.
