Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVit Machacek is a senior policy advisor and data analyst with eight years of experience applying economics, programming and quantitative methods across government, academia and industry. Based in Prague, he combines PhD-level economic research with hands-on Python engineering to build ETL pipelines, system-dynamics models and LLM-driven policy tooling that directly inform ministerial reform. At the Czech Government he led RIA-focused analytics, pioneered an LLM multi-agent pipeline to screen 560 regulated professions for deregulation, and produced the first microdata analysis of ~70,000 civil servants to shape civil service reform. His background includes building Prague’s city-scale smart-data platform and contributing embedded firmware improvements to the widely used Prusa 3D printer project, reflecting uncommon fluency in both cloud/DB work and low-level IoT code. Comfortable moving between policy design, empirical modelling and production code, he delivers evidence-based, operationalisable recommendations rather than abstract studies.
