From Hotel Housekeeper to Founder — Building Tools for Teams Like Mine

I didn t come from tech.

I studied CNC in the Czech Republic, drove vans, cleaned 5-star hotel rooms in Amsterdam, and worked construction sites in London.

In every job, I saw the same chaos:

Rotas on paper. Disconnected teams. Stress everywhere.

I Left the City, Went to the Jungle, and Came Back With a Mission

I used to clean rooms in a 5-star hotel.
Then I was hauling bricks on a construction site in London.
Now I m building a platform I believe could change how people work forever.

Humble Beginnings

I grew up in the Czech Republic.
Studied CNC. Worked as a van driver.
I moved to Amsterdam full of energy and ambition, ready to see the world.
Instead, I found myself cleaning luxury hotel rooms, watching handwritten rotas, chaotic shift plans, and endless paper trails rule the day.

Luxury on the surface.
Chaos behind the scenes.
