EXPERIENCE
*1981, studied Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering. I've left the university and founded my first company. Always thinking about how we can help people live a better lives and how to create more beautiful products. I've spent about a year in Silicon Valley building our own things and helping other startups in US and Europe. I love innovations, building new products and getting new users with the help of marketing and social media. From enterprise software development to end-user product development, I love what I do.
