Přemysl Ciompa

I lead development of Salsita’s 3D-configurator platform and have helped shape the product from its beginnings into what it is today. Maintaining and improving what’s already running is a substantial part of the work.

My responsibilities span architecture, hands-on development, product decisions, and delivery. Along the way, I’ve also been involved in sales and marketing and helped hire engineers. I like understanding the whole thing: what customers need, how we explain a product’s value, and what it takes to build, deliver, and keep it working.

I started as a physicist modelling nano-optical systems with linear algebra, C, and Python. Eventually, I found building software for real users more compelling than academia. “Generalist” fits me pretty well—I tend to follow the problem across disciplines. The job title usually catches up.

Since GPT-3, much of my personal project time has gone into applied AI: integrations, agent frameworks, evaluations, and experiments with how agents fit into products and everyday work. I’m interested in what to delegate, where human judgment matters, and how to check whether the result actually works.

I’m skeptical of broad promises, but my own workflow has changed substantially as the tools have improved. I’m building, testing, and writing about what I find useful, what fails, and what I still haven’t figured out.
