About me

Two worlds, one passion.

Cars have fascinated me since childhood, technology for slightly longer than I care to admit. Today I combine both: at ล koda Auto I'm responsible for high-voltage batteries as Chief Battery Officer, and beyond that I build applications that solve real problems โ€” mine, my family's and my colleagues'.
