Career Path

I started my programmer career at PC Net CZ in Brno where I helped buildind company’s web pages in PHP and launch several customer web sites.
Then I moved to Prague to T-Mobile CZ, I started my work on the company website in ASP.NET. In two years the website became very successful Web Top 100 competition, for next 5 years it took plase among first three competitors because of it's high accessibility and usability.
I also took part in projects focused on voice automation services and speech recognition.

After ten years I decided to move to a company which is strictly focused on Microsoft's technologies, so for two years in Nexum trilog company and then in Havit s.r.o. I have been developing applications tailored exactly for customer needs using the latest versions of ASP.NET, MVC, Visual Studio, TFS, Azure.

Personal characteristics

I behave as a cosmopolitan, open-minded and sustainable thinking person. I am always interested in new topics and ideas, technologies and challenging jobs. Although I like challenges I would rather avoid of competition. I feel best working in a team, fully dedicated to tasks I am competent to do and responsible for. I love innovations :)
