It is hackathon-style session, but not focused only on coding and thus dedicated only for tech people, but also on bringing up any bright idea to make life in our company better and easier.
This year we put emphasis on fintech domain, where our product portfolio is aimed at and where we have long term partnerships. So, what did we come up with and what are the outcomes?
I would like to highlight the work of 2 teams, that worked on robo-advised tradings “tweaks” (actually more like completely new way of thinking :blush: ). As you probably know from our fintech web (fintech.localhost.company) it is one of our 3 fintech product and services pillars, thus it was even more interesting for me.
First team focused on our traditional robo-advised trading on FOREX and tried to find out correlations between trades and various types of cyclical events. Not going too much into the subject, I must say that this out-of-box approach looks very promising and it is the next step for us in implementing rule-based trading advisors.
Second team came up with even more non-orthodox idea — to correlate contextual data with crypto exchange trades and try to predict where we will get in near and distant future with BTC, ETH and so on. Together with AI involved, it again, gave us promising results and it is worth scaling up the idea and implementing it widely in our fintech products.
In conclusion, I must say, that I was really overwhelmed by how much talent is hidden in our people and how much potential they have. Sometimes they just really need an impulse and a little bit of a time to bring their ideas to life … and that’s the main purpose of our LED!

We would like to introduce you to our new interview format, which will be gradually added to our blog. As the first in line, we interviewed our Croatian colleague Mario Plantosar, who is a react native developer. He told us what he does in his free time, how he hacked a computer at his elementary school, and when is the best time to visit Zagreb.
Welcome to this interview where we dive into the world of product owners in the software development industry with our colleague Karol. According to him, being a product owner is an exciting and dynamic role that includes a wide range of responsibilities. We will find out what he learned in the Romanian city Cluj and also, what vacation destination he recommends. So, let’s get into it and explore what it’s like to be a product owner in this rapidly changing and innovative field! :)
Data science has become a powerful field that combines statistical analysis, machine learning, and domain knowledge to extract valuable insights from complex datasets. By leveraging data collection, cleaning, exploration, modeling, and visualization techniques, businesses can uncover patterns and correlations that drive innovation and decision-making. Let’s explore the exciting world of data science and its transformative impact across various industries.
Some people bike or watch series in their free time. Our colleague Michal Géci, however, used that time to create his own arcade game called Ulrich. It’s about a vampire who one day receives a strange letter. After long nights of story development, drawing, programming, and composing music, he revealed more to us :)
Our client is one of the biggest suppliers of spare parts for transport vehicles and buses in Slovakia and the only producer of buses in our country. With more than 90k different kinds of commodities in its warehouses and growing operations every year, the point where all the stock movements in, between and out of the warehouses became particularly challenging was reached. It has had certain implications for controlling, reporting processes and in overall transparency of financial and data flows in company.
