About

Hi, my name is Matěj and this site is my technical blog. I’m a passionate software developer, open-source enthusiast, tinkerer, learner.

I have contributed to the Linux kernel, to Gentoo Linux, and a bit here & there. I was a core developer and release manager of the Amarok music player (Qt/C++ desktop app), completing two Google Summer of Code programmes for it.

During computer science studies at FNSPE CTU I created PyBayes, a Python library for Bayesian statistics, and later Ceygen, a Python (Cython) <-> Eigen (C++) bridge for overhead-free linear algebra with small vectors.1

On the commercial side, I have worked on:

  • developing and later leading the development of a C++ video streaming backend at nangu.TV,
  • developing and later leading the development of a distributed Python satellite imagery analysis system at SpaceKnow,
  • software architecture and development culture of a Kotlin cultural & ticketing platform backend at GoOut.

Since 2018, I have been intrigued by Rust. Ping me if you want to build something Rusty together!
