Engineering Management, Leadership and Tech Stuff
Hi, I’m Slavik—an experienced engineering manager and technical leader.
I began my career as a junior software engineer in 2008, progressing to senior roles before transitioning into management in 2014. Today, I lead the Platform Engineering group at AutoScout24 and Trader, where I focus on driving innovation, reliability, and technical excellence. This is my personal website, where I share insights and knowledge on software engineering, platform engineering, management, and technical leadership.
Very recently I started developing GPU-first programming language Miri.
Thank you for visiting—I hope you find something valuable here ❤️
