Operations first, then data,
now I build
My name is Michal Antal, but everyone calls me Myky. I did not get into software through a computer science degree. I got there through six years of running operations, where every wasted hour had a name and a price.
That is why I ask how a business works before I build anything. Most badly built systems are not badly programmed, they are built on a poor understanding of what the business actually does.
AI makes writing code faster. It does not decide what gets built, and it does not replace that first conversation. You can tell a well built system by how little anyone notices it after a month: it opens in the morning, shows what needs doing, and nobody talks about it.
How I got here

Three hundred events and budgets with no undo
I ran over three hundred events, from small gatherings to international championships, with budgets up to forty thousand euros and teams of up to thirty people across four countries. At an event there is no "we will fix it tomorrow". Either it works at ten on Saturday morning or three hundred people are standing there looking at you. It taught me to plan ahead and to assume something will fail.

Bolt, where a change in logic raised people’s pay
At Bolt I handled courier fleet logistics. It looked operational but it was a data problem. Couriers were being sent across half the city for orders that were not worth taking. I reworked the dispatch logic to account for where a courier actually was and where it was worth going. Average courier revenue rose 72% in two months. Those are not numbers in a report, that is money specific people took home.

Enterprise data and receipts for six hundredths of a crown
Alongside management studies at the Prague University of Economics I consulted on IBM Planning Analytics at Adastra. When the system went down I rebuilt eight critical reporting forms in a single week, the ones the monthly close depended on. My thesis was on autonomous data extraction from accounting documents. Commercial tools charge around four crowns per document. Mine got below six hundredths of a crown, roughly seventy times cheaper. The same principle now powers the feature in Paving Planner that turns a photo of a sketch into a drawing.

My own products
Seven finished projects. Six are used daily by real businesses, one is a paid SaaS in seven languages. I also guest lecture at the Prague University of Economics on AI agents for data extraction.
What I use to build
I do not rebuild from scratch what somebody has already built better. The list of tools and AI skills is public, with links to the repositories. None of it is a secret.

The list is not complete and I keep adding to it. The machinery and electrical qualifications are not decoration: a good share of my clients are manufacturing and trade businesses, and it makes a difference when you can talk about their work without them having to explain it first.
