I am driven by improving things around me.
Highlighted Projects
Hire Me as an Intern
At the end of high school, I created a website to express my desire to find a summer internship abroad. The website gained massive attention, becoming the #1 post on Y Combinator's Hacker News and attracting over 30,000 visitors in a single day. It also brought me more than 150 emails from around the world and significant media coverage.
This project ultimately helped me secure an internship in Hawaii and another at Shopify in Canada.
Designer Meetups
Organized designer meetups in Prague 🇨🇿 and Ottawa 🇨🇦—two cities where I used to live. I managed every aspect of these events, including sourcing speakers, handling communication and promotion, and overseeing the execution.
In total, the meetups were attended by over 300 designers. For the event in Ottawa, I was fortunate to assemble a team of 10 incredible individuals who contributed their expertise to make it a success.
Other Projects
SpotMe Prospecting Tool
A simple JavaScript tool during my time at SpotMe that enabled sales representatives to generate mockups of our product with a prospect's branding. This tool made the process 10 times faster than before.
Wikidome
For my bachelor's thesis, I set out to create a better, modern, and easy-to-maintain enterprise wiki using Ruby on Rails and other modern web technologies.
I Wanna Join Intercom
As a spin-off of the "Hire Me as an Intern" project, I created a version specifically targeting Intercom. While this project also gained popularity, it ultimately wasn’t enough to secure me an internship there.
DNS Discovery Service
As part of a university team project, I collaborated with a company seeking a solution for their DNS management. I developed an application to manage DNS records in a database, built a REST API using the Spring framework as a Java EE application, and created a frontend with AngularJS.
Videby
Led a team of three to develop a web application for collecting, visualizing, and managing electricity consumption data at my former high school.
Upload.it
I came up with the idea to create a web application using PHP to simplify the process of uploading school assessments for students, while making it more centralized and efficient for teachers.
High School Website
I took the initiative to manage the redesign of my former high school’s 15-year-old website, which, according to rankings, is one of the best high schools in the country. The redesign has now been live for over 10 years.
Fun fact: I was once at a bookstore, picked a random book in the marketing section, and opened it to a page that featured a screenshot of my redesign.
