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.
