Hardware & Systems Engineer — Czech Republic

Making the world
nicely livable
for others.

I design the infrastructure people rely on without knowing it exists — LED systems, railway-grade electronics, machine vision hardware. I care about physics, clean interfaces, and getting the abstractions right before touching a schematic.

I work across the full stack from circuit design to firmware — not because I have to, but because the interesting problems live at the boundaries. A decade in, the thread connecting everything is still the same question: how do the parts actually interact, and what happens when you multiply that out.

My father and I share the same motivation: positive physical impact. Things that are quiet, reliable, and make someone's environment a little better. The best infrastructure is the kind nobody notices.

I came up through software — web, desktop, image processing — before committing fully to hardware. That background matters: firmware that doesn't respect the system model will fail in the field, not in review.

EMC is a first-class constraint, not a final checkbox. Physics doesn't negotiate, and the layout is where theory meets consequence.

"PCB layout should be considered an art."

Hardware Architecture
Railway-grade PCBA design, fine-pitch BGA, multilayer layout, transmission lines, impedance matching. EN50155-targeted systems built to last in hostile environments.
EMC & Signal Integrity
Electromagnetic compatibility as a first-class design constraint. Spread-spectrum clocking, layout-level shielding, analog filters, high-speed design from DDR2 to USB HS.
Firmware & Systems
STM32H5 with TrustZone-M, Zephyr RTOS, OTA update pipelines, CI-driven firmware testing. Security and reliability as architectural properties, not afterthoughts.

01
Interfaces before implementation
The contract between parts matters more than the parts themselves. Defining clean boundaries early is the only way to manage complexity at scale — in software and on silicon equally.
02
Physics doesn't negotiate
EMC, thermal behaviour, mechanical stress — these are dimensions of the design space from the first sketch. They don't become cheaper to fix the later you find them.
03
Complexity compounds
Five subsystems with three states each isn't fifteen configurations — it's 243. System thinking means accounting for how interactions multiply before they become failures in the field.
04
Infrastructure as care
The best infrastructure is invisible. When a display works flawlessly in a train for a decade, that's not an absence of events — it's the presence of intentional design.
🛩️
RC Airplane Modeling
Aerodynamics, composite materials, control systems — meeting in something you built yourself and then actually fly.
🏃
Running
Consistent effort, measurable progress, no shortcuts. The same principles apply.
Morning Coffee
A ritual worth taking seriously. The day's first system that has to work.

Balkans & Travel
Infrastructure of a different kind — how landscapes, cities and cultures layer over time.
