Now, by season.

At long last, after automating debaters, I’m trying to automate debate judges, too. See DebateFlow for more details.

I’m attempting to apply the known best practices from software engineering and data engineering to LLM-based apps. Testing, CI/CD, monitoring, observability, and more.

I do this at my current full-time job. I use side projects to test out new ways. I share my learnings in presentations and blog posts. I’m this close to dreaming about it at night.

I’ve been a co-host of Data Talk — all about data practitioiners, data & AI — since late 2024. I’ve also co-founded AI ta Krajta — a YouTube channel about AI. Both are Czech-language; both are great fun. You can keep track of my episodes on my Podcasts page.

I’ve also started to focus more on making and giving talks, which you can track on my Presentations page.

After an inaugural course on AI at Discover 2025, I’m teaching a “Create with AI” course to more high-school students this year. Excited about it.

I’ve been working with Czechitas since 2024, mostly in Data Science and AI-related courses, which I’ve been also helping develop. Most recently, I’ve co-taught Data Science Foundations in Python, which is a 11-week intermediate course, and Data & AI, which is a two-evening course.

Debate is historically quite meaningful to me. Improving reasoning is the first step towards truth-seeking, and debate is a great way to do that. Epistemology is certainly a focus here.

Other than a garden-variety judge, I’ve been a Board member of the main Czech debate organization (Asociace debatních klubů) since 2023. This means that I spend a lot of time thinking about the direction the organization and its didactics should take.

I’ve been playing entirely too much Race for the Galaxy on boardgamearena.com, and almost as much WordFeud. It’s a terrible habit.

I’m in the process of moving to London. Exciting new chapter!

My body is hilariously inflexible. I don’t imagine this will change easily. But there’s a yoga studio on the basement floor of my office building, and I’m coming around to the idea that publically humiliating myself in front of a bevy of skilled practitioners might be a good muscle to exercise.
