Summary
🤩
RockstarBorek Bernard is a pragmatic CTO and founder with 14 years of engineering leadership and hands-on development across startups and scale-ups, currently back to coding full-time after leading Shoptet’s ~80‑person engineering organization. He builds cloud-native, full‑stack systems—from database-level version control (co‑author of VersionPress) to React/Next.js frontends and Kubernetes runtimes—and has repeatedly married product thinking with engineering execution. Borek is comfortable setting tech vision and rolling up his sleeves: he’s chosen next‑gen stacks for enterprise systems, led R&D for template runtimes, and contributed core bug fixes to notable open‑source projects. He splits time between CTO duties at Freelo, a part‑time engineering role at xAI on Grok, and hands‑on platform work in realty/finance systems, reflecting a rare mix of strategic leadership and active coding. Based in Prague and active on X, he combines a tech‑optimist mindset with a history of founding a funded startup and shipping production tooling that simplifies complex data and deployment workflows.
