Who I am and why I do what I do

Since 2015, I've been working with artificial intelligence - first as a researcher and developer, later as a full-stack software engineer, and since 2025 as a lecturer and AI video creator.

My career started at CTU FEE, where I earned my MSc. in Artificial Intelligence. During my studies, I completed two ERASMUS+ research stays focused on machine learning and computer vision. I gained practical experience in startups (Good Vision) and later in corporations (Infor, Omax).

In 2025, I decided to fully dedicate myself to what I enjoy most - sharing knowledge about practical AI use. I train companies and schools, create online courses, experiment with AI video tools, actively use vibe coding in my practice (my advantage is that I'm also a programmer and therefore know exactly what I want AI to program), and I also build automations in n8n.

Demystifying AI

AI is not magic - it's a tool. My goal is to show how to use it practically, safely and with respect for ethics.

From theory to practice

I teach how it really works - without buzzwords, with concrete examples and templates you can use right away.

Community & growth

I co-founded wITches (promoting IT among youth). I believe knowledge has the most meaning when we share it.
