Hi there! I am Ondřej Pacovský, from the mighty Czech Republic. I had just started as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in the research group.
A little bit about myself – I made my first cash writing software when I was 14 and decided to focus my endeavors making computers smarter, that is, artificial intelligence. After graduating from Charles University and Sussex University, I started working in game development as an AI expert and also a lead developer on the side. I then joined Google, and worked on various machine learning projects, most notably Gmail Priority Inbox and the Google Knowledge Graph. I returned to Prague to co-found Eyen, a company specializing in cryo electron microscopy data analysis and special-purpose GPU development.
With Eyen working beautifully on its own, I was looking for a meaningful opportunity to push the boundaries of AI. The Diffbot’s mission fits that goal perfectly – in fact, what we’re doing here was my initial dream when I was thinking about intelligent computers as a boy: a machine that learns about the world just by observing it.
I greatly enjoy teaching my own small biological brains to be smarter than me. I play ice hockey, soccer, tennis, squash and have climbed a 6000m mountain. I also developed and installed my own smart home and enjoy making wood furniture.
