I Built a Journaling App to Give Me Answers

Hey, I'm Viktor
Engineering Manager at Babbel.
Founder at Activities Matter and Colloquies.
Bias for action, driven by purpose
As a Tech Lead for Babbel's 2024 rebrand I led the tech work of 300+ people. I've managed 5 teams and shipped many impactful features across a decade in tech.
By bringing engineering, managmenet and AI expertise to the table I excell at building teams and environments where people are willing and able to innovate.
My apps, Activities Matter and Colloquies, have no retention or revenue pressure. They just solve actual real problems with human-centered design.

Beyond the code
Life outside work
Reading
Books are how I stay curious. I'm drawn to systems thinking, behavioral science, and the occasional novel that challenges how I see the world. A good book can reshape how I approach both leadership and life.
Triathlon
There's something clarifying about training for three disciplines at once. It teaches patience, forces recovery, and reminds me that progress isn't always linear. The race is just the celebration — the work happens in the dark mornings.
Cooking
Cooking is my creative reset. No screens, no meetings — just ingredients, timing, and the satisfaction of feeding people I care about. It's meditative in a way that nothing else quite matches.
