Jan Cizmar

Jan Cizmar is the founder and CEO of Tolgee, the open-source localization platform that treats developers as people, not as a checkbox. He built it five years ago out of pure corporate rage. Every localization tool he touched was designed for everyone except the person shipping the code.

Today Tolgee runs in production for a stable base of paying customers, plugs into most of the frontend stack, and has a self-hosting community so big nobody dares to count it. The npm package passed 100,000 weekly downloads this summer.

Off duty, Jan biohacks, runs, and flies with a paraglider.
