Zortrax.
In 2016 I joined the research & development team in Zortrax, one of the leading companies designing desktop 3D printers. I quickly became the key engineer developing the revolutionary post-processing device called Apoller.
Later on I became the manager of the Apoller project and the author of 5 utility patent applications for the systems I invented. I'm currently responsible for managing multiple teams of engineers developing industrial FDM and UV LCD 3D printers. While working at Zortrax I became a fan of Agile and a master of Scrum.
Founder of Modivio.
As a side project I founded the startup called Modivio. I used my experience in 3D printing to develop the mass customized small form factor computer case. Parametric CAD model combined with 3D printing the final product allowed us to offer a customized solution adjusted to each customer.
Builidng a successful company from the ground up enabled me to gain not only business development skills but also required me to focus on website developement.
Founder of Impress.
In 2014 I founded the startup called Impress. We were working on a flying pocket camera, which helps people capture moments in a fun and easy way.
As a technical co-founder I designed a revolutionary propulsion system. Small enough to fit in a pocket-size device and safe enough to grab the device in mid-flight, without the risk of injury. Furthermore I integrated that propulsion system into a flying prototype of the device.
I was honored to lead a team of extremely talented and driven people responsible for the development of quadcopter control system.
Robotics.
In my early career the team under my leadership have built 2 best miniature fighting robots in the world, winning almost 25 competitions around the globe. The first one was Enova Minisumo - the winner of the biggest robotics competition in Europe. The second one was Enova 365 Microsumo - the winner of the biggest robotics competition in the world.
Their design pushed the boundries of what was possible and inspired countless robotics engineers to build a new generation of fighting robots.
I'm a project manager with practical experience in leading cross-functional teams using Agile methods. Over the years I've built a track record of shipping high quality products. I have a proven leadership skills gained in development, entrepreneurial and academic settings.
