  "about": {"career_start":2014,"lead":"I'm Jakub, a software engineer, architect and founder based in the Czech Republic. I build products from the first idea to release, connecting cloud backends, native mobile apps and web frontends.","text":"I've been working in software since **2014**, combining freelance development with\nbuilding my own products. At **Blendlens**, I lead product and technology, working\nacross architecture, implementation and the details people interact with every day.\n\nMuch of my work brings the physical and digital worlds together. I co-founded\n**Brick My World**, which turns real objects and 3D files into custom LEGO® models,\nand **Blendspace**, which helps online stores show products in a customer's own\nspace through augmented reality. These projects bring together my interests in\n**AR, 3D and computer vision**. My master's thesis at the University of Pardubice\nexplored face detection and identification in raster images.\n\nI also build smaller, focused tools. **Focus Radar** is my iOS app for understanding\nwhere your attention goes and deciding what to focus on next. It reflects an approach\nI care about: useful software with a clear purpose, no unnecessary accounts, and\nprivacy built in. Its data stays on the device.\n\nClient work has taken me from cloud systems and web applications to native iOS and\nAndroid apps, connected devices and product photography. My core tools include\n**C#/.NET, Swift/SwiftUI, TypeScript/React, Kotlin and Python**. I enjoy being able\nto follow a problem across the whole system and build the pieces it needs.\n\n**AI is part of how I work**, with Claude and ChatGPT in my toolkit. The shift from\n*Code, Eat, Sleep, Repeat* to *Prompt, Eat, Sleep, Repeat* on this page is a nod to\nthat. What keeps me interested is turning an idea into something people can use,\nand staying involved from the first technical decision through to release.\n"},
