My name is Tomas Hanak and I'm a software developer and geek from the Czech Republic (For my American friends, it's here).

My journey in the IT field started in elementary school where I started learning HTML/CSS coding languages. After building a few web pages, I switched to C++ to create simple console applications.

The biggest leap in my IT career was moving to Technical and Business College, Brno. Here I was introduced to the Python language. It was love at first sight. I created a number of small projects in Python and one big one: "Voice Assistant for computers in Czech language" (Microsoft's Cortana is not available in the Czech Republic). During my first two years at school I was further introduced to PHP and JavaScript.

Nowadays I am studying my third year at the Technical and Business College, Brno and I am newly programming in C#, I can work with databases and I know the basics of computer networks.

"Project Sara" is my first major Python project. It is a voice assistant for computers, which is completely in Czech (most voice assistants in the Czech Republic do not speak Czech).

The program is created using the SpeechRecognition library and the GUI is made in Tkinter. Project Sara contains predefined commands (turn on the application, search, find, find information ...), but the user can create his own commands at will. For the project I created a own mp3 player so that the program can play songs.
