I remember when i wrote my first „Hello world“. Days after I wanted to create my first own website. I ordered some books about HTML/CSS/PHP, website programming became my passion, and the rest is history. I spent a lot of time programming, but it was something else that pushed my experience to the next level. At high school, I had a subject called "fictional company", and my task was to be it's webmaster. I've created my first website there, and it was a resounding success! After graduation, studying Information Technology was the obvious choice. I started studying at the Czech Technical University, however, I did not finish my studies. Afterwards I started working as a junior webmaster in a small company of around 10 people, called "IT NONSTOP, s. R. O.". It was here where I experienced first hand how software development life cycle looks like in a company. Subsequently, I got an opportunity to work as an application support (IT operations) in the biggest bank in the Czech Republic. There, I was responsible for Ecommerce application, one of the most critical applications in the bank. Beginning was tough, as you would imagine, and I've taken it as a challenge to overcome. And challenge it was, with every day having in store for me new experiences and new things to learn. I participated on several projects of various sizes, both big and small, and I've met a lot of great people. It was great pleasure to work at this company, and to work with my manager, teammates, and our suppliers. This opportunity has given me a lot, and allowed me to improve and expand my technological knowledge drastically. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym and regularly partake in runs to stay fit and healthy. I also enjoy reading technical forums and economics magazines.
