Hello, I'm Petr Kudrnovský

Connecting technology, data, and business.

I believe that being multidomain-oriented is essential to effective problem-solving and bringing real value to projects. Next to my work as an IT Business Analyst at Bonami, I'm currently pursuing a double degree in Digital Business Engineering at FIT ČVUT (Prague) and UAntwerp (Belgium).

I am also building my own digital garden and exploring the world of Personal Knowledge Management systems. I care about detail, good systems, and explaining complex things simply.

Digital Garden

// notes · knowledge · learning in public

I'm a Personal Knowledge Management enthusiast and I build my own digital garden as a public, interconnected collection of notes on topics I care about - technology, data, productivity, and more. It's my experiment in learning in public and building a personal knowledge base that grows over time. The digital garden also includes my university notes, so I can give back to the amazing community of students at FIT CTU and UAntwerp.
