Shortly after graduating with MFA from the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design in Prague I moved to Canada, where I lived until 2008. I'm now based in London, UK, where I run a small design company together with my wife Sandra Friesen.

At about the turn of the millenium I began developing software, initially as an offshoot of my graphic design work. Since then I worked on a wide range of projects ranging from complex websites to consumer software to iPhone and Android SDKs.

Since the mid 2000s I've worked as a senior developer and systems architect at Applied Recognition. Among other projects, I'm responsible for their flagship iOS and Android face recognition SDKs. I also contribute to the company's patent portfolio.

In addition to my software development work I maintain a successful art practice with gallery representation in Montreal and Toronto. I like to think that my art and design training gives me a unique perspective on the challenges of software development.
