Jakub Janecek is a Senior Backend Engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, production-grade systems and a deep affinity for Scala and functional programming.

Comfortable mentoring and leading engineers, he pairs hands-on implementation with modern techniques in FP, system design and operational excellence. Based in Prague, he balances engineering rigor with an entrepreneurial mindset and a hint of product intuition from running his own SaaS. Outside work he’s a family-focused father of three, which he credits for sharpening his time-management and prioritization skills.
