About

A classroom in Prague, evenings, before anyone would hire me. This is where IT caught me and did not let go.

The first automation channel I studied. Beyond practical, unedited builds, it helped me understand the business side of automation and how to judge what is worth automating for clients.

First-principles explanations of language models and how to build practical software with them.

Engineering talks on YouTube and courses on Anthropic Academy covering Claude, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and building reliable agent workflows.

Where the AI I put into automations stops being a black box. Short courses, done properly, on the parts I actually ship.

Tools I've used in practice and still study closely. Each one solved real problems well, and I like learning from what they do best.

System-design diagrams I return to when thinking about scale, failure modes and architecture.

System-design discussions that inform how I think about a platform serving multiple companies.

Explanations of containers, pipelines and Kubernetes that helped during my operations and cloud work.

Grant Sanderson's visual explanations of linear algebra and neural networks. I watch these out of curiosity.

I love this channel. Dominic Walliman's visual maps of physics, mathematics and computer science show how whole fields fit together.

Visual histories of information theory, cryptography and neural networks, traced back to the original ideas.

For when I want to go full nerd on low-level computing, cryptography and strange corners of computer science.

Treating life and work like a system: writing down clear principles, looking at mistakes without ego, and improving how decisions get made.

Piano arrangements that stay on in the background when I'm deep in a build or writing documentation.

Calm acoustic piano covers for evenings when I just want music without lyrics.

I love Dune and Dune: Imperium. Great strategy matches and commentary when I want to unwind.

Brilliant stand-up and a genuinely thoughtful human being. Who I put on whenever I need a good laugh.

Pure comfort after a long day. Dachshunds are my spirit animal: stubborn, brave, a little sneaky, and sharp. My family has two small black ones at home, and we used to have a chocolate one too.
