Website Purpose
The purpose of this website is to present my technological skills in the field of static/dynamic web site development and desktop software developement.

My Work History
I have been in software development since about 15 years old. At elementary school I developed mainly web sites and later at high school I began to acquire desktop applications development skills. After I finished high school, I had to enroll army duty, which is mandatory in Czech republic from which I come. At the army headquarters they noticed my IT skills and consequently changed my position to the position of IT Systems Specialist. My duties included development of in-headquarters web sites that were used to administrate logistic operations of the headquarters. This web site fastened the logistic processes several times. I also had to administrate 55 computers connected in a LAN network and my position required basic Linux OS knowledge.

Later when I left army, I went into commercial sphere. I developed for the Gitus, a.s. corporation, which by that time mostly delivered software for the largest Czech telecommunication corporation Czech Telecom, a.s.. Later orientation of this corporation spread out to school system applications, pharmacy evidence applications etc. I participated in most of these projects.

My biggest experience is probably developing for the largest Czech bank, Ceska Sporitelna, a.s.. I was a member of the internet banking development team. We used Java technologies to create this servis and after more than six months of hard work this website is now on-line (See references below).
