Lenka Kadlec · Senior AI Product Engineer & Tech Lead · Ex-Microsoft
Remote-only. No agency markup, no ramp-up overhead. A senior engineer who makes decisions and ships - including the AI features most teams can't get past the demo stage.
Whether you need a product built or a senior pair of hands on your team, the engagement is scoped, senior, and low-overhead.
I build and ship your product - architecture to deployment - solo.
Need a senior engineer on your existing team? I embed as a senior IC or tech lead for a project or sprint cycle.
Production work at scale, deep tech-lead ownership, and AI products built end to end.
A production-grade multi-tenant project-management platform with an AI assistant that triggers real in-app actions by voice - create projects, assign tasks, and query status through natural language, with confirmations and real state mutations rather than a chat wrapper. Real-time collaboration, role-based access, and subscription billing built in. Currently in beta, being hardened for release.
Shipped production features for Microsoft Teams messaging, used by millions worldwide. Led cross-team frontend delivery as primary engineer - coordinating rollout across multiple partner teams and working directly with PMs and principal engineers on scope, sequencing, and risk.
A full-stack app that turns any YouTube video into per-minute summaries, key points, and a “chat with this video” experience. Pulls the transcript, summarizes with Claude, extracts claims, and verifies each against web sources. Built end to end: durable background workflows, a multi-runtime architecture, streaming chat with prompt caching, and per-job cost tracking that surfaces real unit economics before you scale.
Open to new projects, embedded engagements, and conversations. Tell me what you're building and let's see if we're a good fit.
