Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFilip Hlasek is an engineering leader with 12 years of experience building robotics and autonomous-vehicle software at startups and major teams in the Bay Area, currently at Applied Intuition. He has repeatedly founded and scaled engineering teams—from the first hire at a teleoperation startup to leading ML-driven perception and prediction groups at Level 5/Lyft and Woven Planet—shipping production-grade systems for localization, prediction, and driver behavior classification. A decorated competitive programmer (IOI silver, ACM ICPC silver, Google Code Jam top-3) who also coaches gifted students, he brings rare algorithmic rigor to large-scale, safety-critical systems. His hands-on contributions include algorithmic C++ work—fixing overflows, refactoring, and test coverage in the widely used TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus repo—highlighting a focus on code quality and correctness. He pairs product-minded technical leadership with recruiting and mentoring experience, and prefers tackling the hardest problems where advances yield outsized impact. Based in Mountain View, he combines strong academic results from Charles University with practical startup and automotive-industry execution.
