About Me
I’m Tereza Sásková, a student of Data Science Msc. at the University of Trento and a former professional mountain biker.
What I’m Working On
I’m currently working on two projects that combine my interests in geospatial analysis and data engineering:
🛰️ Deforestation Monitoring in Šumava National Park
Build an automated system to detect logging/deforestation events in Šumava National Park using satellite imagery from Sentinel2 and classical image processing techniques, train a ML model and design an architecture that can be deployed.
Latest project
⚙️ Data Engineering
A web app for Ski Zadov, automating weekly ski school registrations. A Flask + PostgreSQL web app, that automates registration limits (8 out of 12 weeks). Automatically closes registration every Wednesday at 24:00 and provides an admin dashboard with Google Sheets synchronization.
These projects bring together my aim to learn more from GIS technology, scalable data systems, and practical, real-world problem solving.
🎓 Currently
- Master of Science in Data Science, University of Trento (2024–2026)

My path into data science and tech world wasn’t a straight line. It began on mountain trails and race circuits.
Before I ever wrote a line of code, I was a professional mountain biker competing at the world cup level, where I became a Junior Vice-World Champion and multiple-time Czech national champion.
These experiences might seem far apart. However they share the same foundation, real, lived discipline, focus, and the drive… For me, discipline isn’t a catch phrase. It’s something I’ve practiced daily. Through years of training, recovery, constant improvement.
That same mindset now stays with me, when I learn, build, and solve problems in data science. I simply do things with my all 100%.
A career-ending injury eventually pushed me to rethink and starts something new. This is something that shaped me and also the way how I hand work, having willingness to always learn new things and adapt well in changing enviroment.
Today I’m particulary interested in projects where data engineering meets real-world impact. Whether that’s monitoring environmental changes from space or building systems that make organizations run more efficiently. While I’m always open to exploring new domains and learning from different areas of data science.
