My journey
I’m a self-taught developer. My journey wasn’t linear. I started life without a tech background, made mistakes, took wrong turns, and had periods where I was simply trying to survive. In 2019 I returned to coding — and I didn’t let go.
BarberCore began in February 2025 as a single-tenant booking system. After months of real iteration and feature growth, I fully re-architected the platform into a multi-tenant SaaS in October 2025.
Today BarberCore is live and includes bookings, payments, tenant onboarding, branding, customer engagement, operational tooling, and infrastructure automation.
I was born in 1987 in the Czech Republic. I didn’t come from wealth or a tech background. I made wrong decisions, experienced rejection, and had periods of real instability. In the early 2000s I first touched programming (QBasic, Delphi), but life pulled me away.
In 2017 I arrived in the UK with almost nothing. In 2019 I returned to coding seriously, teaching myself HTML, SQL, C#, and Bash. Over time, I built BarberCore as proof that I could create something reliable and valuable.
BarberCore is not a “startup story.” It’s a one-person mission built through persistence and discipline.
