About me.
Matej has been working in the field of technology for four years. He has worked as a mobile app developer in Flutter and Dart for three start-ups based in Europe. Matej understands technology not only from the technical part thanks to his career as a developer but also from the business point of view. During his high school studies, he kicked off a HealthTech R&D project Adam Carer helping people with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Matej’s project Adam Carer won the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade price in 2021, ranked in the TOP 10 out of 142 startups in The Idea of The Year of the Czech Republic organised by Vodafone in 2021, and ranked in the TOP 10 in 75 in the Vodafone Foundation Accelerator.
Besides his young age, he is 19 years old, Matej spoke at 20+ conferences and events, was featured in Forbes magazine, and co-organised online Flutter on Air conferences for more than 400 Flutter developers from all around the world - including the first Flutter conference in the Czech Republic.
During the pandemic, Matej quickly noticed his classmates' problems with online learning and turned to Google. Together with Czech Google, he recorded videos from the student’s point of view published on the official Google Youtube channel with 80 000+ views. He presented his opinions on distance learning at the Ministry of Education conference.
Matej comes from the Czech Republic, lives in Prague, and currently, works as a Technology Intern at Deloitte Central Europe.
