Hello/Ahoj ��

I'm a (backend distributed system) software engineer at Microsoft with a theoretical background in AI/ML from Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague. In addition to all things software engineering I’m also interested in computer languages and generally software engineering/computer science as a whole. When not playing with computer-related stuff I like to do curling, hike, swim, enjoy theatre, and read.

For the past few years I've also suffered from LongCOVID hence some of the weird health-related projects :).

One does simply what one can in order to apply what one knows.

While not (yet?) connected in any way, my values (at least aim to) perfectly match https://earendil.com/values/
