Summary I have a passion for optimizing everything that can be optimized: from my daily routines to robot trajectories. I am the luckiest person, since I was born in an era when we do just that with AI. I love talking to people and learning languages: apart from my mother tongue (Czech) and the languages in which I studied (C1: English, Dutch), I also learned German and Spanish (B1), and now starting Russian (A1). I will be super happy if you talk to me in any of those!
