Born with a sharp mind, a keen eye for detail and a cheeky mouth, I thrilled my teachers both in a positive (maths, physics) and negative (PE and so on) way. I worked as a scientist and a software developer, but I found the domain best suited to my unique blessings and curses nine years ago: software testing. These days, I annoy my fellow workers and bosses in the greatest Czech bank: Česká spořitelna.

The other one is creating internal standards for doing almost anything. I also enjoy mentoring juniors to transform them into the same beasts I am. My extracurricular interest is studying anything at universities, and I have just finished my 31st year of schooling.
