Hi there, I'm
Researcher / AI & SW EngineerAbout
- Co-Founder and CTO at Scicake.com
- Leading Researcher in Data Science at Brain Diseases Analysis Laboratory
- AI Engineer and Software Developer at Inventurist.ai
Professional Profile
I finished my doctoral degree in digital signal processing and informatics at the Brno University of Technology in 2018. In 2014 I co-founded a research team 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 a US-based startup inventurist.ai where I discovered the beauty of natural language processing and AI/data driven product development. In 2022 I co-founded a company scicake.com where we bridge scientific research with business to create intelligent products and services using responsible and interpretable AI. In 2023 I became Scicake's CTO.
Personal Profile
Besides my professional career, I love bouldering, snowboarding, traveling, playing guitar, reading, computer games from time to time, and many other things. During my university studies, I co-founded a Call of Duty 4 clan. Few years ago, I also co-founded a Dragon Boat team named Drakkar and we have been attending competitions around Slovakia 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). We have lived in Spain, USA., Czech Republic and Slovakia, and we are looking forward for what's coming next.
