Bio
About
I build interface and execution architecture for the next generation of software: from machine-readable API contracts, through autonomous integration and contracting, to AI-consumable capability systems and agent-native execution.
Professional biography
Zdeněk Němec is a software architect, founder, and researcher focused on the evolution of software interfaces toward autonomous contracting and agent-native systems, with a current focus on Agentic B2B, payments, and commerce infrastructure.
He is Founder and CTO of Superface.ai, where he works on infrastructure enabling autonomous agents to discover, integrate, contract for, and execute capabilities across software systems.
Previously, he was Director of DSL Development at Apiary and creator of API Blueprint, one of the first widely adopted machine-readable API description languages. He later founded Good API, advising global companies on API architecture and platform design.
His work spans multiple architectural transitions, including:
- Agentic B2B, payments, and commerce
- agent-native execution infrastructure
- autonomous contracting and settlement
- AI-consumable capability systems
- integration abstraction layers
- autonomous APIs
- APIs as products
- contract-driven API development
He has spoken at international conferences including O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference, Nordic APIs, APIdays, GitHub Satellite, and AI The Docs.
