- Co-Founder of ACAI.AI
- ORCID ID 0000-0002-8978-351X
Professional Profile
I finished my doctoral degree in digital signal processing and informatics at the Brno University of Technology in 2018. Since 2014 I have been working at Brain Diseases Analysis Laboratory where I became excited about advanced signal processing and machine learning applied in the field of neurosciences. Since 2017 I have also been working at Inventurist.ai where I discovered the beauty of natural language processing and AI/data driven product development.
Personal Profile
Besides my professional career, I love bouldering, snowboarding, traveling, playing guitar, reading, computer games from time to time, and many other things. Few years ago, I founded my Dragon Boat team Drakkar and we have been attending competitions around Slovakia every year with success. In the future, I plan to travel with my wife as we both love visiting new interesting places with rich culture, history and great local food (well, and beer in my case).
