About

Working as an automation development lead on various in-house and external projects at Denevy, mostly focusing on test automation, process automation and reporting.

My goal is to help businesses succeed by driving improvements in both business and technical areas and providing technical training to share my knowledge with others.

I am an established professional with more than five years of experience in both startup and corporate environments in the IT space with a proven track record of participating in successful projects throughout their lifecycle, ranging from internal tools to boost productivity to building software with an international presence which keeps helping people worldwide with areas such as marketing or product management or telecommunications. It has been an extremely enriching experience that helped me to understand the current market needs and help businesses to translate them into efficient and successful internal activities from which they can highly benefit.

This gave me experiences and skills in various areas to understand how to help companies with various activities ranging from business process analysis, data analysis and testing through product management to product launch and life cycle management. This all helps me to help bring improvements and success to businesses in business and interpersonal ways.

If I am not helping teams with automations or development I primarily focus on product management to help streamline the other essential parts of the product lifecycle and to help the business to get the maximum out of the project by delivering high-quality products and boosting team satisfaction.

Something more

If you read it till here, here’s something more about me to keep you going (primarily professional, but I threw some leisure stuff in as well).

First, something brief about me personally to break the monotony. I am passionate musician and photographer who loves the law, which I am still studying. I am currently based in Prague, Czech Republic.

My life paths have led me to various positions, but I eventually got to IT, which I learned to love. I started as a data analyst, but I participated in a lot of projects where I focused on both the technical and business sides. Eventually, I found myself loving automating things and especially tests and data pipelines the most, however I still actively participate in BE and FE development as I found out it’s something I really enjoy.

If I am not helping the technical teams, I am more than happy to jump to business and help the project succeed from the business side of things. Because of my experiences in both business and technical teams, I can be an effective liaison between stakeholders and developers, translating business needs into comprehensive requirements and transparently managing the product backlog and features to bring value to the business.

If I am not working, I love traveling, playing my acoustic and electric guitars and taking photos.

Let’s get back to vocational stuff now. I realize that reading succinct description of individual projects I worked on and the list of skills, which can sometimes be rather arbitrary, does not really show the individual projects I worked on in detail, so here is something more about what I did.

I have worked on various projects for the past five years (in both startup (SMBs) and corporate environments), where I built Dockerized full-stack internal and external applications, for example, for information transferring (various messaging and internal/external newsletter apps with custom backend and frontend), various automation tools such as custom format parsers for generating Open API specs, deploying applications with regards to semantic versioning and auto up to date changelog, data ETL pipelines and visualizations in Grafana, Power BI or Tableau and much more.

I have also worked on creating my own framework that can be utilized with Cucumber.js and aims to help with implementing the POM structure with Playwright and a very similar framework that aims to do the same thing but is meant to be used with Robot Framework.

I have also built deployment and testing pipelines utilizing mainly GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions and Jenkins to facilitate testing, deployment and various other automatizations to help deliver the product from alpha versions to launch in the EU market to mature products with a huge number of clients worldwide.

My current main focus is to streamline automation (this can sometimes involve the whole process of digital transformation) in general with a specific focus on automated testing, where I set the complete testing workflow from business processes to CI/CD pipelines and automated tests implementation and result consumption (reporting, automated ticket workflows etc.). To do this, I can analyze business and QA needs and translate them into comprehensive requirements which can be implemented. Defining new, improved and better workflows for the QA teams and teaching them to the employees/managers to ensure a more efficient and enjoyable way of handling just another day at work can go a long way towards bringing huge value to the business.

In case your QA is not working as efficiently as it could, or you don’t know how to visualize or consume data or automate your data streams or build your internal knowledge base? Does your product suffer from inadequate or inefficient QA processes? Has it impaired or negatively affected your product management and/or launch and delivery? Do you have problems with processes or information pipelines and getting it across various project levels but do not know how to manage all this to release a successful product? There are many cases that can negatively affect your product, and a lot of them can do with QA and processes; there are many scenarios. I can help you solve these problems and help you to manage your product successfully.

And finally, I am a people person, so I love transferring these skills that I have learned over the years to other people through mentoring, coaching and training, so the businesses can retain the added value I brought in to apply the improvements and solve various business and technical problems they might encounter in the future. I love communication and connecting people to deliver product value. I can always find a solution to a problem, analyze it, propose a solution, implement the solution, implement procesess and write documentation and methodologies.

I value honesty, courage, diligence, learning, teaching. I am always open to new challenges.
