Bio

As a Senior Advanced Systems Engineer, I have been assisting global players in the aviation industry since 2011 in developing meaningful innovations for their commercial aircraft. My daily work primarily involves communicating with people, coordinating teams of Czech and foreign developers, exploring new paths, overcoming obstacles, and seeking optimal solutions. I contribute to the research and development of unique futuristic projects, concepts, and innovations in aviation. Our projects and products facilitate the work of pilots, air traffic controllers, enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of air transport. I am a co-author of 7 patents. I reside in the nearby town of Tišnov and commute to Brno for work almost every day. Occasionally, my work takes me to Toulouse in France or Phoenix in Arizona. Besides spending time with my family, I engage in scouting, education, flying RC model aircraft, and 3D printing in my free time. I love exploring future technologies.

What did Brno give you?

Brno has provided me with education, work, livelihood, stability, and everything I need for life. I have been active in Brno since I started studying at the university. I graduated from the Brno University of Technology – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Mechanical Engineering and Aviation Operations. After university, I immediately joined Honeywell in Brno. I have always dreamed of working closely with aircraft or as a developer in IT. Honeywell gave me the opportunity to fulfill both of my dreams simultaneously.

3 things you love about Brno?

I perceive Brno as a technological hub with an excellent combination of education and employment opportunities. I appreciate the wide range of cultural and leisure activities in the city itself or in the surrounding nature, as well as the integrated public transportation system.
