About ME A person who´s work interest is going beyond comfort zone. My work involves realizing energy efficiency projects into life. Despite the fact life brings among me many obstacles, every step I have made clearing the obstacles bring me closer the person I am right now. I like to play, I like to workout, I like challenges. MY CAREER After graduating from high school I decided to study civil engineering and architecture at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Slovak Technical University. During my studies my interest was in the field of HVAC. During my engineering studies I was engaged in student scientific activities in the field of cold water supply to high-rise buildings. The work, despite the "uninteresting topic", brought success even though my colleague and I ended up in the unpopular 4th place 😊. I have already completed my diploma thesis on renewable energy in the field of heat pumps. During my engineering studies my working career started. I got a chance in KVT – spol. s r.o., which was at that time dedicated to the installation and sales of HVAC units, air conditioners and heat pumps. After graduation, the choice was clear and the cooperation with KVT was extended for another 4 years. In 2016, an opportunity arose to work for Slovenské elektrárne - energetické služby, s.r.o. as a project manager. The position and especially the work literally enthralled and absorbed me from the first days. Including the expansion of management skills, communication skills brings new challenges, a much more comprehensive view of the energy industry, the possibility of continuous learning, simply here you are never bored.
