Šimon Smejkal

At Born Digital, I build backend services and integrations for conversational AI applications, including chatbot and voicebot solutions for Česká spořitelna and T-Mobile. I contributed to a ChatGPT-powered banking assistant that helps Česká spořitelna customers navigate online banking. I also built Scio’s online exam proctoring backend service from the ground up and managed its Azure Kubernetes environment and scaling for thousands of simultaneous test takers. My current work at Born Digital explores real-time AI virtual avatars, combining speech, lip-sync, and video generation with application services to create interactive digital-human experiences. Previously, I developed an AI-enabled video platform at Cinnamon and contributed to deployments and AWS infrastructure. At Rascasone, I built a browser-based audio player and spectrogram visualisation for a Škoda Auto project focused on identifying vehicle defects from engine sounds.
