By day, I write code at Slido (part of Cisco Systems) so your meetings don't suck. By night, I solder things that probably void warranties.

Based in 🇸🇰 Bratislava, Slovakia — where the beer is cheap and the software engineers are not.

🖥️ Build native desktop apps and integrations for macOS (Swift) and Windows (C#) — yes, both
🌐 Also do TypeScript, React, Node.js — because one ecosystem is never enough
🔌 Design PCBs and program microcontrollers — because software bugs weren't enough, I needed hardware bugs too
🖨️ 3D design & print things at 2 AM that I absolutely did not need

An integration that allows users to embed polls, quizzes, surveys, or Q&A directly into PowerPoint presentations and automatically launch them during the presentation.

This is the project I currently dedicate 90% of my working time to. I am primarily responsible for developing the integration for macOS, where I use Swift, C, C++, and even VBA. I also contribute to the development of the Windows integration (.NET/C#) and its frontend (React/TypeScript).

An integration that allows users to embed polls, quizzes, surveys, or Q&A directly into Google Slides presentations and automatically launch them during the presentation. It consists of several interconnected components (a Google Chrome extension, a Google Slides add-on, a custom web player, and the so-called Slido Sidebar).

In the early stages of the project, I contributed to the development of the Google Chrome extension as well as the Google Slides add-on. Later, a dedicated team was formed around the integration and fully took over the project.

For 8 years, I was responsible for developing native applications for the Windows and macOS operating systems that enabled remote control of a computer directly from the Slido admin interface. This allowed presenters to seamlessly switch between Slido interactions and the presented content during a presentation.

The applications were gradually replaced by standalone integrations, Slido for PowerPoint and Slido for Google Slides, which provide even deeper integration and broader automation capabilities.

Slido for Slack The Slido integration with Slack allowed users to create and manage Slido events, as well as ask questions directly within the Slack environment. Although it had a relatively successful campaign on Product Hunt, it did not attract a sufficient number of users during its lifetime, and its development was discontinued after two years.

For this integration, I implemented the backend (Node.js/TypeScript), the database (MySQL), and the interaction logic with the Slack API.

• Languages: Swift, C#, TypeScript, C/C++ — I mass-collect languages like others collect stamps
• Hardware: ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, Arduino, Atmel AVR — if it has a chip on it, I'll flash firmware onto it
• Tools: Xcode/Visual Studio/WebStorm for programming, Autodesk Fusion for 3D modeling, KiCad for designing PCBs, a soldering iron for everything else...
