Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPetr Nálevka is a seasoned software engineer and serial founder with over two decades in IT, combining Ph.D.-level research with hands-on product development and commercialization. He founded multiple successful startups including Red Dragon and Urbandroid (Sleep as Android), and launched the advocacy project Don't Kill My App to push back against aggressive OEM app-killing. Technically fluent in Java, Spring, Hibernate and Android, he stays current with Kotlin and TensorFlow while balancing architecture, full product lifecycle delivery, and clear technical writing. An experienced presenter and small-team leader, he excels at rapid domain orientation and turning ideas into marketable products. Notably, his open-source contributions include front-end improvements and vendor scoring logic for the widely seen dont-kill-my-app repository, reflecting a mix of UX sensibility and systems thinking. Outside work he blends unconventional interests—life-hacking, academia, and even Pastafarian priesthood—into a pragmatic, idea-driven approach to building technology.
