Android Developer · Systems Builder · Founder
I build things that make systemic sense — not just features,
but architecture, distribution, and long-term value.
The short version.
I'm a systems builder. I don't just think about features — I think about architecture, distribution, and how the whole thing holds up long-term.
By day, I develop the Fortuna betting app — one of the biggest mobile platforms in Central Europe. By night, I'm growing Kvalty.cz, the largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic, which I built solo using AI-assisted development.
Before tech, I sold phones at Vodafone, worked in the Scottish Highlands, and dropped out of university after three semesters. Not the most linear path — but every step taught me something no tutorial could.
I'm a firm believer in what I call "vibe engineering" — not letting AI write code for you, but using it as a sparring partner while you hold the vision and make the hard calls. I'd rather build something with a solid foundation than ship a duct-taped MVP.
"I'd rather build slowly something that makes systemic sense
than quickly ship something that's just glued together."
Where I've built things.

The Scotland Chapter
The Torridon & Lochs and Glens
Scotland, UK · 2019 — 2020
Took a detour from tech to work in the Scottish Highlands. House porter at a luxury hotel, then team leader at a restaurant. Learned leadership, communication, and that coding beats carrying luggage.

What I've built.
Kvalty.cz
The largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic. A Turborepo monorepo with 3 Next.js apps, a Hono/tRPC backend, 80-table PostgreSQL database with PostGIS, an AI-powered price extraction pipeline monitoring 1,700 school websites, and a fleet of 20 parallel Claude Code agents (the "Ralph method") that autonomously validated every school in the country. Solo-built with AI as my co-pilot.

Fortuna App
Mobile sports betting application serving millions of users across Central Europe. Contributing to the odds & offer section with focus on performance and real-time data.
ROSSMANN CLUB
E-commerce application with over 1 million downloads. Built product video previews, delivery integration, search improvements, and a blog section.
Moje Studium
Complete rewrite of a university student application from Xamarin to native Android. Designed the UI/UX and significantly improved user ratings on the Play Store.
Possibly the biggest solo AI-built
project in Czechia.
Not prompts. Not vibe coding. A methodology, a production system, and the numbers to prove it.
Vibe Engineering
"Not vibe coding — structured, adversarial, intentional."
My 3-phase process for building with AI. Every feature goes through research, adversarial review, and consensus before a single line ships.
The Ralph Method
A fleet of parallel Claude Code agents that autonomously crawled, extracted, and validated driving school data across the entire Czech Republic.
Human review before every database commit.

Built in 15 months by one developer. Bigger than Vue.js. Almost 3× Express.js. 4 apps, 17 packages, 168 API procedures — shipped and serving real users.

Not just listing them on LinkedIn. These are the technologies I reach for when building real things.

The rest of the story.
Code is what I do. This is who I am when the laptop is closed.
Charlie
My hiking buddy, forest navigator, and the reason I actually leave the house. Every trail is better with a dog.
Mountains & Nature
Beskydy, Tatras, anywhere above the clouds. Hiking resets the brain better than any code review.
Travel
Sicily by train, Etna on foot, islands by bus. No all-inclusive resorts — just a backpack and a loose plan.
Strategic Games
Chess and billiards. Both reward thinking several moves ahead — a habit that leaks into everything I build.
Gaming
GTA, strategy games, and anything with a good story. Try typing HESOYAM on this page.
Maker Instinct
Most devs stop coding after work. I make websites for family trips, friend jokes, and barber careers.
Helping People
Building things for people around me — whether it's a website, advice, or just showing up.
