Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarek Čermák is a founder, engineering leader and coach with nine years of experience building cloud-native backend systems and scalable products. Currently Founder & CEO of Tradeforge—a social investing platform launched in 2024—and a hands-on Engineering Manager at STRV, he blends startup grit with enterprise delivery, guiding teams of 10+ engineers and owning architecture, pre-sales and product delivery. His technical track record spans Go, Node.js and Python, PostgreSQL and both AWS/GCP, with past roles driving Kubernetes/DevOps work and a migration from a Rails monolith to Go at Ventrata. As a university lecturer and speaker, he actively shares practical engineering practices and mentors teams, and he explicitly values the team as his most important product. Unusually for a technologist, Marek pairs deep CS training with an MBA and a master’s in finance, informing both product-market thinking and platform economics. Based in Brno, he brings a rare mix of hands-on implementation, architectural leadership and entrepreneurial vision.
