The most amazing...
...thing I've helped create was an urban visualization with a live city simulation presented on three 4K displays; the 3D engine was done in-house.
Work Experience
Occasional Lead Software Engineer
Sub.digital
- Created open-source research software for parametric geometry morphing with Rust (Github.com/subdgtl/HURBAN-Selector).
- Created a 3D engine for interactive urban models and visualizations with Electron, TypeScript, and WebGL 2.
- Extracted and open-sourced a library from our engine for more pleasant work with WebGL.
Software Engineer
VECTARY a.s.
- Developed features for the in-browser 3D editor.
- Developed features for the Vectary platform and ecosystem.
- Took part in a massive code refactoring and modularization of the 3D editor while keeping the features intact and delivering new ones regularly.
- Performed code reviews and mentoring.
Software Engineer
V Lottery Systems GmbH
- Helped write a service that analyzed player behavior and reported suspicious activity by reading a stream of game events.
- Applied multiple refactorings on a monolithic game server codebase.
- Wrote asynchronous prefetching networking components to ensure smooth service latency.
- Performed countless benchmarks for informed decisions on choosing technologies.
Intern Researcher
Research Studios Austria GmbH
- Prototyped document classification methods for the Web of Needs research project.
- Assessed unsupervised approaches to clustering of word-meaning-vectors in text documents.
- Designed and built a program for extracting features from natural language (to be run a part of a greater machine learning pipeline).
Software Engineer
Davinci Software, s.r.o.
- Worked on three products developed within the company: DTA-SaaS, DTA, and DTA v2.
- Discovered my passion for algorithms while contributing to the greenfield DTA v2 project.
- Contributed to the revised architecture of the DTA v2 project and related improvements in performance and precision.
- Created NFA-like algorithm for named-entity recognition embedded in the DTA v2. The approach was inspired by the design of Google's RE2 library.
Java Developer
New Frontier Slovakia, s.r.o.
- Helped develop a back-office solution for managing the VUB Bank's product catalog.
- Optimized the JavaScript-and-DOM-heavy app to run on IE6 (mostly by removing things from the DOM).
