Our Story

OWASmooth team, 6 members

It was in April 2024 when Barbora noticed Miroslav struggling with unreliable data from his physical experiment, spending countless hours with manual data processing. That was when she realised her scientific work in data aggregation could help solve his problem.

We prepared equations, transformed them into an algorithm, wrote the code, uploaded raw data, and pressed ⏎ Enter.

The results revealed something ground-breaking — a game-changer for handling unreliable data. This breakthrough moment gave birth to Optimisation With Advanced Smoothing.
