"Sloboda je to, na čom skutočne záleží", povedal som si a cca v roku 2005 sme prešli v našej malej spoločnosti (dnes Triton Famme s.r.o.) na slobodné operačné systémy. Postupne sme prekonávali prekážky typické pre toto rané GNU/Linuxové obdobie: od chýbajúcich ovládačov pre modemy pre mobilnú sieť, cez nefungujúci internetbanking, nedostatok dokumentácie či skúseností okolia, až po migráciu dokumentov. Nakoniec to stálo (a stále stojí) za to! Nebola to „hra s nulovým súčtom“ – strávený čas sa nám vrátil mnohonásobne – získané vedomosti, spoznanie nových ľudí, prispôsobený softvér našim požiadavkám a predstavám, prenikanie do tajov a prístupu k slobodnému softvéru.

A fascinácia slobodným a otvoreným softvérom pretrváva. Sám sa najlepšie cítim v hrejivom objatí softvérovej implementácii lisp-ového stroja s názvom GNU Emacs, považujúc ho za najvyšší stupeň digitálnej existencie.

Naša spoločnosť sa orientuje na návrhy, realizácie, prípadne rekonštrukcie technologických liniek na pozberové a potravinárske spracovanie zemiakov a zeleniny, spolu so skladovými technológiami na Slovensku i v zahraničí. Od dizajnovania celých liniek, jej súčastí, spôsobu ich riadenia. Niektoré stroje a ich ovládanie si navrhujeme sami, s inými nám pomáhajú spriatelené firmy, ďalšie kupujeme od iných výrobcov, pričom realizujeme spôsob ich technologického a technického (včítane komunikačného) prepojenia. Riadenie zverujeme otvoreným kontrolérom – dospelým, testovaným, spoľahlivým zariadeniam spĺňajúcich požiadavky nasadenia do priemyselného prostredia.

Hobby: Ak nerátame záľuby viac-menej prepojené s IT, tak občasná horská cyklistika a sledovanie motoršportu (rôzne pretekárske i menej známe, série).
