Hi, I'm Michal Takac 👋
I'm a software engineer from Košice, Slovakia. I enjoy building stuff.
In 2021 I've founded DimensionLab, where we're working on next-generation engineering and scientific software.
I'm also a board member of Paralelná Polis Košice and QuestSpace hackerspace. We've established a physical presence in the heart of Košice city on Hlavná 36 street - come for a great coffee and hacking on some collaborative projects!
Beside that I'm coding random crypto projects for fun!
In 2021, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation "Design and Implementation of Modern Methods for Modeling and Control of Technological Objects and Processes" under supervision of Prof. Ivo Petráš, DrSc. at Faculty of Mining, Ecology, Process Control and Geotechnologies, Technical University of Košice.
In 2020, I was Visiting Student at UC Berkeley at Institute of Transportation Studies.
During my PhD, I taught JavaScript programming in two courses, one for undergrads and another for graduate students. Additionally to that, I also taught Java and a presentation skills course there.
Before that...
- I did WebVR at Decentraland,
- helped build apps for startups at Sleighdogs,
- experimented with using WebVR for mathematics with MathworldVR (won Falling Walls Lab Slovakia 2020 with this project, profile also at Falling Walls website),
- founded skateboarding scoring platform SkateRank,
- co-founded a startup for house 3D printing Instant House Construction which we decided to abandon,
- did a small gig at Veterinary University of Košice developing maintenance management software,
- founded tracking software Runelytics for an online game Runescape,
- done some Wordpress stuff for nearly 2 years at HP Publishing s.r.o. who published Boardmag and Dirtbiker magazines in Czech republic and Slovakia,
- and beside that worked on various small projects.
