About Me
I’m Lukáš Soukup, a dedicated Software Engineer with a strong foundation in Java and Spring Boot, currently shaping digital banking solutions at Komerční banka (Société Générale). My focus is building secure, scalable, and maintainable software where performance, resilience, and quality are key. With 7+ years of experience with Java and little over 3 years of professional work in the industry, I have a deep understanding of backend systems, distributed architecture, event-driven design, and DevOps practices. I also work on full-stack projects and enjoy exploring areas like cybersecurity, AI integration, and 3D prototyping. Driven by discipline and curiosity, I regularly take part in endurance races and hackathons—seeking growth through challenge, both professionally and personally.

GitHub Projects
InvoiceParser
A simple and small Java application to parse invoices from my Gmail using Google's API. Genuingly helpful to speed up the process of gathering invoices for travel expenses and other purposes. First it queries Gmail for emails which contains specific keywords in the subject, then it downloads the attachments and saves it on my shared local storage within my local network that runs on Raspberry Pi. Everything is done in a Docker container so it can be easily managed and deployed on any machine.
Technologies Used:
Welder Norm Checker
ElectronJS desktop application designed to streamline employee record management and performance monitoring for welding operations. The application organizes local file storage for employee data, tracks individual work performance, and automatically calculates income based on the number of completed welded parts, providing an efficient and transparent solution for workforce and productivity management.

RAIvisor - an AI Agent for Banking Advisors
An advanced AI-powered tool developed at SwissHacks 2025 for banking advisors, enabling real-time multilingual speech-to-text transcription, product sale recommendations, compliance checks, automated note-taking, customer data synchronization, and sentiment analysis. The solution was built in just 36 hours and won first place at the hackathon. Demo is unfortunately not available since it was designed to run onpremise to comply with data privacy regulations and some of the team members do not wish to share the code publicly, yet.
Technologies Used:
Skill Run
It is this web application you are currently using. It is built with React, TypeScript, Next.js and Tailwind CSS with DaisyUI components on the frontend. It features responsive design, dark mode, Three.js animation scenes and interactive components. The backend side is currently in progress, there I'm using Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, however basic features like sending emails are already implemented so feel free to send me an email :)
Technologies Used:
HarvestGuard
A mobile-first dashboard built at START Hack 2025 for Syngenta, designed to empower farmers by aggregating diverse sensor data (soil quality, weather, humidity, pest control, plant health, etc.) into actionable insights. The solution highlights risks, provides recommendations, and features a minimal-text interface for accessibility in developing regions. When trying out the demo, please be patient, the backend has to start up and since it's a free hosting service it takes some time.

Professional Experience
Medior Software Engineer
Komerční banka (Société Générale) • Prague, Czech Republic
Mar 2022 - Present
Participated on multiple projects but mainly focused on backend development. The biggest project I worked on, MIGR, is a microservices-based system for migrating entire customer data between different systems within the bank (the old legacy system and new modern SW solution). On the other projects I've touched the legacy system and worked on rewriting them to a modern microservices architecture.
Key Achievements:
- Designed and implemented RESTful APIs, Async messaging (Kafka, ActiveMQ) for internal services and external clients
- Managed and monitored Kubernetes clusters and resources through Argo CD, Helm, Grafana, Kibana and Kubernetes dashboard
- Worked within a clustered, cross-functional team environment, where each team operated as an independent service provider.

- Presented the solution to a panel of judges at SwissHacks and later presented at Point Zero Forum
Hackathon participant - role: Software Developer
START Hack • Sankt Gallen, Switzerland
Mar 2025 - Mar 2025
Collaborated in a team of four at START Hack 2025 to develop a mobile-first dashboard solution for Syngenta, aimed at empowering farmers. Our application aggregated diverse sensor data (soil quality, weather, humidity, pest control, plant health, and more) to generate actionable insights, highlight risks, and provide clear recommendations—enabling farmers to maximize crop yield and better prepare for the harvesting season. The interface was designed for ease of use, with minimal text to support accessibility for farmers in developing regions.
Key Achievements:
- Designed and implemented a mobile-first dashboard for real-time agricultural sensor data aggregation and visualization
- Integrated multiple data sources including soil quality, weather forecasts, humidity, pest control, and plant health
- Developed automated risk detection and recommendation features to support farmers' decision-making
- Optimized the user interface for low-literacy and third-world accessibility by minimizing text and maximizing clarity
- Collaborated closely with a cross-functional team to deliver a working prototype within the hackathon timeframe
