Jakub Jancek - IT Director

Jakub is the IT Director and part-owner of LingualMuse.​

Jakub was born in Kežmarok, Slovakia, but spent most of his life in Chicago, after the pressures of a new and growing nation drove his family to experience new cultures. Jakub studied Computer Science at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL. He had the opportunity to publish research and present at the SIGSCE Conference in Seattle in 2017. While looking for his next move, Jakub decided to learn German (fun fact, German will be the 6th language he learns!). He found LingualMuse and was very impressed, and he continues to take weekly lessons with Caroline.​

After struggling to find a school that met his criteria for research in the US, Jakub looked back to his roots to find his next challenge. Jakub moved to Bratislava, Slovakia to study for his Master's in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. Jakub currently lives in Petržalka, right outside the capital, as he continues his education and works in research.​

Jakub also spends his time working for ButterflyEffect in Slovakia, where he teaches students and people who want to get into IT the software development process. Jakub is a big fan of mountains and traveling, and plans on taking advantage of his location to visit many cultures and countries.
