Introduce
Few words about me
I am software developer from Brno with more than 12 years of profesional experience. I'm currently working as a head of sw department for company Skoda Digital. For the past few years i have been a part of development team of smart security and access control system Dominus 3 for company Abbas, which has been build literally on a green field. Git is my second hand in relation with GitLab where I am constantly trying to improve our CI/CD automatization.
I'm interested in C# .NET and mobile platforms where i found my favorite platform iOS. In my free time I create mobile apps or I'm trying different frameworks or programing languages. My favorite programming language is C# and I do like Swift and Python because of their simplicity.
In the summer I spend a lot of time on my bike, riding around local forest trails or bike parks. In the winter I like to go to the mountains to ride my snowboard. I love to spend time with my girlfriend Veronika and our lovely dog Anja.
Work experience
What I was part of
At Skoda Digital I'm responsible for development of multimedia systems for rolling stock vehicles. That includes embedded development of Passenger Information System and CCTV system with web interface for configuration.
At the end of 2019 I accepted a huge challenge of leading development team. I take care of a team of 8 internal developers which include hardware, embedded SW and also desktop software and 2-3 external developers. I am responsible for development planning, release of new versions, product quality and support across the team and whole company. I am still trying to be active part of development and I contribute to codebase of our software written in C# .NET.
My job was software development of configuration software for embedded devices. I worked on configuration software for floor reporting in elevators (written in C# .NET), or on device for playing video ads on coffee vending machines (written in Java + configuration software in C# .NET).
Education
Nothing is impossible
Distance studium was a huge challenge for me because I had a full time job and I was playing in band at the same time. But nothing is impossible if you have an effort. I wrote bachelor thesis on Multiplatform Multiplatform Mobile Application for Rapid Communication Between Students and Teachers which is available on my GitHub. It includes .NET Core server backend and Xamarin app client.
I ended sweet high school times with a school-leaving exam in electrotechnics, digital technologies, czech and english and practical exam in electrical measurement.
