— Android Developer, Founder & Builder from Prague

I do things that matter.

Android engineer, AI builder, founder of Kvalty.cz and co-founder of Tuela. Based in Prague.
Powered by mountains and a stubborn drive to build.

Currently: building Tuela · growing Kvalty · probably starting another side project

The short version.

Martin Svoboda

I'm a systems builder. Features are the easy part. I think about architecture, distribution, and whether the whole thing still makes sense in two years.

By day, I develop the Fortuna betting app — one of the biggest mobile platforms in Central Europe. By night, I'm co-building Tuela, an online child safety app, and growing Kvalty.cz, the largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic.

Before tech, I sold phones at Vodafone, worked in the Scottish Highlands, and dropped out of university after three semesters. Not the most linear path — but every step taught me something no tutorial could.

I'm a firm believer in what I call "vibe engineering" — not letting AI write code for you, but using it as a sparring partner while you hold the vision and make the hard calls. I'd rather build something with a solid foundation than ship a duct-taped MVP.

"I'd rather build slowly something that makes systemic sense
than quickly ship something that's just glued together."

Where I've built things.

Flagship Product

Kvalty.cz — a solo-built product system, not just a website.

The largest independent driving school comparator in the Czech Republic. I built Kvalty as a complete product: public SEO acquisition, Academy, school-owner admin, superadmin operations, API, database model, payments, emails, monitoring, and production operations.

Builder

This was not only code delivery. I had to understand the market, design value for students and schools, build the distribution channel, shape the data model, and keep the system running as one person using AI as a force multiplier.

What I owned end to end

  • Frontend UX, admin, superadmin, and the student-facing Academy.
  • Backend domain logic, data model, migrations, emails, payments, and integration contracts.
  • SEO acquisition, school workflows, business logic, and growth-facing product decisions.
  • AI orchestration: specs, review, integration, and output control instead of blind code generation.
01

Product Vision

Kvalty connects school discovery, test preparation, school profiles, reviews, registrations, and monetization into one product.

02

Full-Stack System

Three Next.js apps, a Hono/tRPC backend, Drizzle/PostgreSQL, shared packages, typed contracts, tests, and migrations.

03

Distribution & Business

SEO pages, local landing pages, school profiles, pricing transparency, partner offers, and Academy as the growth engine.

04

Production Ownership

Docker, VPS operations, CI/CD, rollbacks, migration guardrails, monitoring, backups, and security hardening are part of the product.

Tuela · Mobile app for children's online safety

Safety that protects trust, too.

Tuela is a mobile app for parents who want to keep their children safer online without losing their trust. It combines everyday parental controls with a protection layer for serious risks in online conversations. Children know Tuela is running, and parents cannot browse their everyday messages.

Parents should know when their child may need help—and how to talk about it. They should not need to read everything their child writes.

Clear rules without daily arguments

Tuela helps families set clear rules for phone use. Children know what applies, why it applies, and when they can ask for an exception. Less arguing, more shared understanding.

An alert that helps start the conversation

When something may be serious, parents get more than an alert. Tuela explains what the signal may mean and offers expert guidance on how to respond and start the conversation with care. The alert should open a conversation, not the child's private life.

My role

As co-founder and technical lead, I connect product, backend, data, security, privacy, infrastructure, UI/UX, marketing, and SEO.

How I build with AI.

More than prompts. A methodology and a system that ships.

Methodology

Vibe Engineering

"Not vibe coding — structured, adversarial, intentional."

My 3-phase process for building with AI. Every feature goes through research, adversarial review, and consensus before a single line ships.

The rest of the story.

Code is what I do. This is who I am when the laptop is closed.

Charlie

My hiking buddy, forest navigator, and the reason I actually leave the house. Every trail is better with a dog.

Mountains & Nature

Beskydy, Tatras, anywhere above the clouds. Hiking resets the brain better than any code review.

Travel

Sicily by train, Etna on foot, islands by bus. No all-inclusive resorts — just a backpack and a loose plan.

Strategic Games

Chess and billiards. Both reward thinking several moves ahead — a habit that leaks into everything I build.

Movies & TV

Marvel, Whiplash, Sherlock, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, House MD — and Czech classics like Comeback and Hospoda.

Gaming

GTA, strategy games, and anything with a good story. Try typing HESOYAM on this page.

Maker Instinct

Most devs stop coding after work. I make websites for family trips, friend jokes, and barber careers.

Helping People

Building things for people around me — whether it's a website, advice, or just showing up.

Websites, AI tools, full-stack systems. I make things that work. Got a project? Let's talk.

Websites & Landing Pages

From business sites to personal portfolios. Fast, responsive, and SEO-ready. Built to convert, not just look pretty.

Redesigns & SEO

Your site looks dated or doesn't rank? I redesign it, optimize it, and make Google notice.

Web Apps & Systems

Full-stack products, APIs, AI integrations. If it lives on the web and needs to scale, I build it.
