About Me

I am Vitek Jezek, 28 years old, I am from Prague, Czech Republic. Five years ago I have found company called manGoweb. And since them we are making web sites and web applications - see http://mangoweb.cz/en. Today we have around 30 people working fulltime in Prague, 1 fulltime in London, and we are working for quite big companies like Skoda; Starbucks and lots of others.

In Prague (and Czech Republic in general) we hadnt got any public Bikesharing system. So in 2013 I have found one - system called Rekola (see http://rekola.cz/en). Within few months our system was spread from Prague in anothers 5 cities across Czech Republic, and more cities are coming. Is like mobike or ofo, but better ; )

I am doing lots of another stuff - like Czech biggest web conference for more than 1500 people called WebExpo; education of young web talents called Junior Internet; flash mobs and urban games in Prague called Děsír; and so on and so on... I am afraid, that if I should describe all of my acitvities, this would be quite long ; ) But I think you have now the main idea about me.

Or you can visit https://www.facebook.com/jezek.vitek or http://vitekjezek.com (but unfortunately its just in Czech language right now).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- meet new people around the world
- discover new places around the world
- do interesting things ... around the world ; )

Interests

- technology in general. Even I am tech guy, I think technology has same problem as first of our technology: fire. It is a good servant but a bad master. I am interested of impact of new tech gadges and where it could help us. “The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.” ~William Gibson

- long distance cycling - once a year I travel for weeks. I have traveled from Prague to Paris; to Copenhagen or to Vienna; from Czech Republic to Istanbul.

- pushing and creating new things / activities / companies / startups. Changing world around me. Challenging status quo.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am consumer of music, movies and books; so its for me really hard to pick up just few of them.

But ... lots of film from Nolan. Or Hotel Rwanda. Or Mononoke hime. Or Matrix. Or City of God. Or ... lots of others.

Books? Non fiction: Running Lean. Fiction: Ender's game.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with:
- web sites / web application / mobile apps
- business and startups in general - I have been mentoring lots of projects; I have been talking with lots of our clinets; and I have done lots of our ideas and projects too. So I think I have some basics within setuping new service or developing and upgrading current one.
- IT in general - from network / internet things; printers; etc...
- optimalize your workflow (which could be today pain in the ass) based on current technologies
- repair computers or bikes
- sharing / discussing stories about life in general.
