As Head of Engineering at Coinify, I lead and scale the engineering team, owning software development, architecture, infrastructure, and security across our products. I joined as Lead Software Engineer to build the team behind our internal back office systems — fraud detection, payouts, reconciliation, and accounting — where I delivered a ClickHouse analytical platform, solving a years-long problem of querying data across microservices, and built a unified financial closing dashboard the business can rely on. Since taking over the engineering team, I have been driving Coinify's transformation from a legacy tech stack towards a distributed microservice architecture, including the move off the legacy admin UI.
Before Coinify I spent nearly seven years at Vita Media Group, most recently as Head of Technology, architecting the award-winning OMG Affiliates system, an internal SMTP platform, and an event-driven bounce processing system. I passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam in 2020 and have strong skills in various backend and frontend stacks. I have a master's degree in Computer Science from Københavns Universitet and a bachelor's degree in Information Systems and Management from Czech Technical University in Prague. Earlier still, I founded and launched a successful set of Android mobile alarm clock applications for various music players, which were downloaded more than 300k times and had several thousand daily active users.
I'm an entrepreneur in my heart and I bring innovation in areas where it's needed. I love digitalizing and optimizing processes. I have a healthy approach to risk-taking. I believe that understanding business comes first, coding second. I value a pragmatic approach when it comes to development. I get things done.
Leading and scaling the engineering team, with ownership of software development, architecture, infrastructure, and security across all products. After taking over the engineering team, I have been driving the continuation of Coinify's digital transformation from a legacy tech stack towards a distributed microservice architecture. I am also leading the effort to replace the legacy admin UI with a new one. Alongside this, I optimize engineering processes and development workflows, and drive best practices in coding, testing, and deployment.
