# Hey there!

My name is [Jozef Vaclavik](https://vaclavik.me).
I'm ~40 years old and currently located in Dubai, UAE.
I'm a software engineer that enjoys building complex systems.

I learn anything that I can put my hands on; ranging from economy, management, psychology, mathematics, informatics and others.
These days I focus mostly on building new products mixed with AI.

I use daily Ruby, Rails, and sometimes I get my hands dirty with Ember, React, Phoenix and Elixir.
Occasionally I do Cocoa with Objective-C (but tbh that has been a while).
I like doing unusual stuff like [writing code on iPad](http://vaclavik.me/2017/week-of-a-web-developer-on-an-ipad/), mixing AI agents, playing with ARM boards and basically learning everything the hard way.

I work as a CTO at [DesertCart](https://desertcart.ae) and on developer friendly analytics at [Trifle](http://trifle.io).
I used to freelance time by time at [Toptal](https://www.toptal.com/resume/jozef-vaclavik).
I [tweet](https://twitter.com/JozefVaclavik) about my daily struggles and [blog](http://vaclavik.me/blog) about what I've learned.
I (sometimes) take photos and post them on [500px](http://500px.com/JozefVaclavik).
I like running like crazy just because it is fun. I'm a father of two and my world have turned upside down ever since the first one popped out.

If you have any questions, reach me anywhere.
