How I work.
The short version: give me the problem, not just the ticket.
End to end
I'm comfortable owning a project from the first conversation to the store release — remotely, and without needing someone to check in on me.
Across disciplines
Android is home, but I design in Figma, create web in Ruby on Rails, and run my own Linux servers. Fewer handoffs means fewer things lost between them.
Agile, not ceremony
Small batches, short feedback loops and as little work in flight as possible. The ideas behind agile, without the rituals that bury them.
What I build.
Alongside client work I build products around automation — taking the kinds of work that used to require a meeting, a ticket, and three handoffs, and collapsing them into something an AI agent can do end to end with a human in the loop only where it matters. Typhon — my AI agent — produces plans, opens pull requests, and ships features without leaving the dashboard.
I build my own tooling because the off-the-shelf pieces aren't shaped right yet. Orchestration, planning, approval flows — the things that turn a raw model into a teammate — are mostly still being invented. I'd rather invent them than wait.
How I got here.
I'm self-taught. In 2015 I built a practice app for the Slovak driving-theory exam and published it on Google Play. People used it, it earned money, and in 2016 it got me my first developer job — building a banking app from scratch alongside one senior developer.
Since then I've built mobile banking and telecom apps for Erste Group's George platform, ČSOB and T-Mobile, been the only Android developer on a tenant-experience app, and spent the last few years as one of two developers on a large consumer social platform: around 245 screens and hundreds of thousands of users. There I moved a legacy Java codebase to Kotlin and MVVM, built peer-to-peer video calling over WebRTC, and built a Rails pipeline that used Claude and ElevenLabs to voice each character in a written story.
Before any of that I trained as a mechatronics technician — mechanics, electronics and automation in one program. I still think about software the way that taught me to: as a machine whose parts should each do one thing, and be easy to take out.

Have an app that needs building, a codebase that needs untangling, or any questions?
