Viktor Bezdek is a pragmatic engineering leader with 25+ years of experience who currently serves as VP of Engineering at Groupon, owning consumer-facing web and mobile experiences and driving AI adoption across product and delivery. He specializes in rescuing messy orgs—restructuring teams, clarifying ownership, and cutting time-to-market (30% in three months) while eliminating wasteful processes and tech debt. Viktor combines hands-on architecture and front-end roots with practical AI engineering, having built LLM-powered tools like a prompt optimizer, RAG pipelines, and AI copilots that saved 100+ engineering hours per week. He’s equally focused on velocity and sustainable teams, mentoring engineers into senior roles and emphasizing automation to create leverage without burnout. Based in Prague, he brings a rare blend of product-minded execution, measurable outcomes, and a no-nonsense approach to shipping complex systems.
