I’m Lukas Soukup. A Product Engineer bridging product management, design, and code.

Experience

With over 20 years of experience in software development, digital product design, and project leadership, I operate as a Product Engineer — someone who can take a product from raw vision and business requirements through UX/UI design all the way to native iOS implementation.

My background covers the complete product lifecycle: user research, roadmap prioritization, interface design in Figma, native Swift/SwiftUI engineering, and App Store growth.

What I Do

Because I have worked as a product manager, product designer, and software engineer, I eliminate the typical friction between strategy, design, and engineering:

• Product Management: Defining vision, shaping roadmaps, analyzing market opportunities, and aligning features with real user value.
• Product & UX/UI Design: Crafting wireframes, design systems, accessible components, and high-fidelity interactive prototypes.
• iOS Engineering: Building high-performance, native iOS/macOS apps with Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData, and modern Apple frameworks.

LukyLab & Independent Products

Through my company, LukyLab s.r.o., I build and publish independent apps for iOS and macOS, including PromptKit, Compot, Kindest, GPSKit, and Sumio. Running my own products keeps me intimately connected to what works in the modern App Store ecosystem — from Apple HIG to In-App Purchases, Core Data/SwiftData, and ASO.

Selected Clients & Leadership

I’ve partnered with international enterprises, high-growth startups, and non-profits, particularly in banking, fintech, and enterprise software (including Abra Software AG, Fiduciary Labs, and TACR).

Beyond commercial work, I’ve contributed extensively to science communication in the Czech Republic, co-founding Otevíráme and Science Café to make science accessible to the wider public.
