I work as a software developer for an international company. I’m still trying not to get lost in the flood of new technologies, and I do my best to keep learning something new in my field all the time.

I also run a small startup focused on bringing more transparency to the job market in the Czech Republic. It’s my little sandbox where I can apply the new things I learn.

Lately, I’ve been quite busy with family life—I have two small kids —so I haven’t been able to participate in CS as much as I’d like :-) But since they’re becoming more and more independent, I hope my traveling ban will be lifted soon, and I’ll be able to gain more CS experience again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve hosted a couple of travelers so far, and I hope I’ll have the chance to host more in the future. I also like to join CS meetings—I especially enjoy the outdoor ones, where you can get some fresh air and spend time in nature outside the city.

Why am I here? To help others and to make some friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2005 - We went with bunch of friends to vegetable farm in Great Britain. Despite poor accomodation, misery work conditions, low pay and terrible weather, it was one of the greatest times of my life :) We had really lot of fun and we did not care at all about anything.

2008 - I came back together with my girlfriend again to GB. We spent 8 months in an English family near Milton Keynes. We worked there as an "au-pair" couple. I gained experiences as a handyman, gardener, farmer, taxi driver and babysitter - all in one :D That was something totally different from IT world in which I am all the time.
