„I don't think within field boundaries. I look for connections across experiences.“
Vaclav Vesely
I connect system and product thinking with real-world operations.
I'm not a developer or a business guru. I quickly understand the system, name weak spots, and help set solutions that hold in practice.
- Systems thinking in practice
- Decisions with incomplete data
- Product simplicity and sustainability
- IT tools and technology with clear value
20+ years of experience - manufacturing - development - automation - IT and digital products
„It's not about years on paper - it's about decisions in real operations.“
I've run manufacturing, development, and implementation projects in Czech and international companies - Magna, Skoda Electric, Eaton, Unipetrol, MUT Automotive. I've worked in environments from corporates and traditional manufacturing to smaller tech firms, which lets me quickly see how systems work, where they jam, and what needs to change.
Over time I moved closer to technology, web, and my own products. It wasn't a change of industry, more a shift toward work where decisions have fast impact and systems are tested in real operations. Today I combine big-project experience with my own products and smaller IT projects, where you constantly balance speed, stability, and long-term sustainability.
I treat methodologies as tools, not dogma. What matters is that the system works even under imperfect use, that decisions have real consequences, and that the solution survives real operations - whether that's manufacturing, software, or my own SaaS.
What I bring:
- Systems view of product and operations
- Quick orientation in messy environments
- Decisions with incomplete data and pressure
- Bridging tech, people, and business goals without fluff

Running ops for a 3D AR/VR startup
In a small IT/3D AR/VR startup I run both projects and operations. I work between clients, the team, and the product, watch capacity, finances, and deadlines, and translate requirements into clear steps. In practice that means keeping the whole system together, not just individual tasks.
- Decisions with incomplete data
- Trade-offs between older processes and new approaches
- Operational reality and accountability

A simple SaaS for small stays
I built my own SaaS for small accommodations and took it to production. From day one the focus has been simplicity and a product that non‑technical owners can run. I keep it running long‑term and tune features based on operational reality and user feedback.
- Simplicity for users, sustainability for builders
- Fast delivery vs. long-term stability
- Decisions with real operational impact
MUT Automotive
MES system with camera monitoring, technology projects
Implementation of a camera‑based MES system with a Czech startup. I handled how the design meets manufacturing reality, what to adjust, and what to leave alone so the system works in practice. I also coordinated other technology projects with partners from Germany and Italy.
- Operational constraints in real production
- Fast decisions under pressure
- Impact on production and quality
Hronovsky s.r.o.
Company's largest project - KOSTAL / Audi
An Audi project with unclear requirements and frequent changes. We had to rebuild the plan, reset priorities, and get development into production without losing control. The outcome relied on clear communication, discipline, and consistent risk management.
- Unclear requirements and frequent changes
- Prioritization and risk management
- Accountability for production impact
Skoda Electric
New planning system and multi-million projects
Introduced a new capacity planning and reporting system in a data‑heavy environment. At the same time I led projects worth hundreds of millions of CZK, coordinating teams, dependencies, and deadlines. The focus was a working system, not just formal reporting.
- Data, planning, and reporting in practice
- Trade-offs with older processes
- Decision pressure with production impact
Unipetrol
Investor oversight across multiple projects
Investor oversight for more than ten concurrent refinery projects. Safety, on‑site reality, and the ability to keep control over parallel deliveries were critical. It was coordination of people, technology, and process in a high‑pressure environment.
- Safety and on-site operational reality
- Decisions with incomplete information
- Coordination across teams and suppliers
Eaton Industries
Analytics, budgets, optimization proposals
Analytics, budgets, and optimization proposals. I learned to work with incomplete data and translate it into concrete steps for manufacturing, technical development, and finance. Precision mattered, but so did the ability to orient quickly.
- Working with incomplete data
- Decisions impacting cost and quality
- Finding workable compromises
Magna Automotive
CAD, teamwork, process automation
CAD and process automation in an environment with high demands on quality and deadlines. Alongside design work I built VBA tools that simplified routines and freed team capacity. Over time I took over leadership and responsibility for outcomes.
- Automating routine steps
- Simplifying team workflows
- Operational impact and responsibility
Skills in Context
A blend of systems thinking, product decisions, and practical delivery across manufacturing and tech.
Project Management
Process Optimization
Trading & Strategy
Web Systems & Product Thinking
Analytical Thinking
„The best solutions appear when a problem is broken down into a system.“
I'm not a specialist in one topic, but I can see the whole. I quickly grasp connections, find weak spots, and help shape decision-making so it works in practice.
Strategist with vision. I seek systemic solutions, optimize processes, structure chaos. Low need to control others, high self-control.

„Whether it's a product, website, or trading - the principles stay the same: system, focus, feedback.“
BKNGWEB.com is a lightweight web system for small accommodations with a focus on simple management, clear content, and fast day-to-day use. meetnotes.cz helps capture and structure meeting notes so you can act on them immediately - clear outputs, tasks, and next steps.
- Understandable products that stay maintainable in production
- Focus on simplicity and fast use
- Built around real user needs
Webdesign & lightweight systems
Minimal backend, easy maintenance
I build websites and lightweight systems with minimal dependencies. The goal is architecture that lasts for years, not a one-time launch.
- Simple architecture and minimal backend
- Easy content management without heavy CMS
- Long-term functionality and low operational cost
Trading & system thinking
Risk, decisions, feedback
Trading is a practical training ground for system thinking. I work with risk, discipline, and decision-making under pressure. This is not financial advice.
- Risk management and rules
- Decision-making under pressure and uncertainty
- Feedback loops, metrics, discipline
Blogging & writing
Writing as a thinking tool
I write on Vesely blog and Mind4trading. Writing helps me structure problems and test arguments in public.
- Structuring problems into clear arguments
- Testing hypotheses and audience feedback
- Long-term work on clarity and language
I'm interested in why things work - or don't work.
Whether it's a team, system, product, or market, I look at how setup shapes outcomes in real operations.
In projects, I look for structures that hold under pressure.
In products, I watch where simplicity improves decisions.
In writing, I test arguments and their consequences.
My work and thinking rest on three pillars - human, technology, and system. I look for connections, ask questions, and validate them in reality.
human×technology×system
Collaboration with context.
I look for short, meaningful collaboration where an outside systems view makes a difference.
„No big promises, just a clear view of reality.“
