About me.
Matej is a young innovator. During his high school studies, he initiated a HealthTech R&D project Adam Carer, spoke at over 20 conferences, helped 80 000+ students with distance learning in cooperation with Google, and started Flutter on Air events.
Matej has worked as a Flutter app developer for three European start-ups and co-organised Flutter on Air online conferences for more than 400 developers worldwide.
His innovative HealthTech R&D project, Adam Carer - AI voice app helping people with Alzheimer's disease, won several awards and was ranked in various competitions (including the finals of Vodafone's Idea of The Year or the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade's 2021 prize). During the pandemic, he helped students with online learning by creating educational videos for Google's official YouTube channel and presenting his views on distance learning at the Ministry of Education conference.
Today, he continues to make a difference in the industry - at Deloitte. He currently works in the Business Development AI and Data team, and previously in the Innovation team.
