Meet Jakub Lomberský, Associate Director in AI Software Engineering
Today, we are delighted to spotlight one of our exceptional colleagues with a remarkable and demanding hobby. Meet Jakub Lomberský, Associate Director in AI Software Engineering (Hyperautomation and AI) who is also a passionate pilot, a lifelong dream he’s pursued since childhood.
During the challenging COVID period, Jakub pursued his pilot’s license in his free time, dedicating two years to weekend flying. He fondly recalls it as a source of positive memories during that time. For Jakub, flying is an ongoing adventure, and he constantly adds new licenses for different types of aircraft, turning it into a true passion. What he values most about this journey is the strict discipline it requires, adherence to processes and regulations, and the challenge to upskill himself on physics and meteorology. He draws parallels between the pharmaceutical industry and flying, as both demand meticulous preparation and adherence to established guidelines.
In his everyday role, Jakub pursues a career in IT and plays a pivotal role in developing products related to emerging technologies, including Big Data, Internet of Things, and more recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI). Currently, Jakub leads three squads focused on AI, playing a key role in enabling and integrating Generative AI technologies across MSD. He takes immense pride in his team’s achievements, often comparing their internally developed solutions favorably to those of large software companies.
When asked further about the similarities between flying a plane and working for a pharmaceutical company, Jakub highlights the importance of adhering to strict rules, respecting processes and regulations, and maintaining attention to detail. He humorously mentions that each takeoff feels akin to releasing another feature on the company’s internal GenAI-powered platform. “Both flying and working at MSD can provide an adrenaline rush at times, teaching us to level up your resilience and patience in dealing with stress and ability to multitask, while requiring us to be detail-oriented. At the same time, it also encourages you to continuously learn,” he admits.
We applaud Jakub for his incredible achievements and unique journeys, which enrich our MSD community with diverse talents and passions. 🛫🌟
