About

I'm a Staff Software Engineer specializing in iOS/tvOS with >15 years of experience building high-performance apps and streaming experiences. I focus on delivering robust, scalable mobile products that perform reliably for millions of users under load. My journey began in 2010 as an iOS freelancer, building apps with solid engineering practices. In 2012, I relocated to Prague and spent seven years at ZENTITY a.s., where I helped teams build native apps for banking, telecoms, and media clients, raising quality standards and introducing architecture patterns that reduced maintenance effort. In 2020, I joined the video experiences team at Deltatre for BritBox, where I tackled complex playback and performance challenges in consumer streaming. Since 2022, I've been at the heart of the Disney+ Hotstar, working on UI/UX features, improvements and app optimization, solving complex challenges in performance and user engagement at scale and for diverse international markets. I take pride in transforming hard requirements into elegant solutions with measurable impact.
• Who I help: Product and platform teams building Apple platform apps
• Problems I solve: Performance bottlenecks and limitations, fragmented architectures, scalability gaps
• Outcomes I deliver: Faster load times, reduced crash rates, higher retention metrics
I blend deep technical mastery in Swift, modern architectures like MVVM/VIPER and Reactive patterns with a pragmatic focus on delivering measurable impact. I also explore cutting-edge AI orchestration and agentic systems to complement user experiences.
