— Android Developer, Founder & Builder from Prague I do things that matter.
Android engineer, AI builder, founder of Kvalty.cz and Ferda App. Based in Prague.
Powered by mountains and a stubborn drive to build.
The short version.
I'm a systems builder. Features are the easy part. I think about architecture, distribution, and whether the whole thing still makes sense in two years.
By day, I develop the Fortuna betting app — one of the biggest mobile platforms in Central Europe. By night, I'm co-building Ferda App, an AI child safety platform, and growing Kvalty.cz, the largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic.
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."

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.

Kvalty.cz
The largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic. Solo-built with AI as my co-pilot — a Turborepo monorepo with 3 Next.js apps, a Hono/tRPC backend, PostgreSQL with PostGIS, and a fleet of 20 parallel Claude Code agents that validated every school in the country.

Ferda App
An AI platform that keeps kids safe online. Ferda monitors for grooming, cyberbullying, and self-harm — but parents only see alerts when there's real danger, never regular conversations.

Get in touchNative mobile work.
Before pivoting to web, I spent 4+ years building Android apps used by millions.
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.

E-commerce application with over 1 million downloads. Built product video previews, delivery integration, search improvements, and a blog section.

How I build with AI.
More than prompts. A methodology and a system that ships.
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.

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.
Movies & TV
Marvel, Whiplash, Sherlock, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, House MD — and Czech classics like Comeback and Hospoda.
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.
