About Me

I architect systems at the intersection of game engines, graphics programming, and low-level infrastructure. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in C, C++, and Go, I specialize in building the kind of software that other software runs on.

I founded v4.games s. r. o. to build V4K – a modular C++ game framework with a visual editor, DX12/Vulkan rendering, hardware ray tracing, Jolt Physics, FMOD audio, and an MCP server for AI-assisted development. It's the distillation of everything I've learned about engine architecture into a single, transparent toolkit.

I'm also an active open-source contributor. I've authored libraries like zpl, librg, and several tools for gamedev and systems programming – used by developers building multiplayer games, modding frameworks, and embedded systems.

One thread runs through everything I build: reducing complexity. Whether it's engine internals, networking code, or developer tooling – I push for the simplest solution that actually works. Less abstraction, more transparency.
